The Sun-Times Guild and WBEZ’s SAG-AFTRA are UNION STRONG in our fights for a fair contract. We stand together in our respective fights for the pay, protections and assurances the union workers who bring you Chicago’s headlines — online, on the radio and in print — deserve.

Thank you!
Guild logo faintly behind black text with a white background, reading: We're excited to announce the Sun-Times Guild has reached a tentative contract agreement with CPM that includes protections against Al slop and layoffs due to Al. We'll have more to share after ratification, but for now... Thank you to our readers, supporters and community members who reached out to management. Your efforts made a difference.

Today our members showed up to bargaining to once again tell CPM we're asking for real protection: • No layoffs due to generative Al • No cutting hours/pay due to GenAl • No eliminating future jobs to make room for GenAl • GenAl can't write or create our editorial content

Our thoughts are with our @CTGuild siblings who are once again falling prey to the vultures at Alden Global Capital.
Chicago Tribune Guild@CTGuild24 Jul 2025
Today, @chicagotribune laid off five guild staff members in a roughly 10% cut to our newsroom. These layoffs underscore a sad but unsurprising failure of leadership by Alden Global Capital, our hedge fund owner, and local management.

Solidarity with our colleagues at the Tribune Guild!
Chicago Tribune Guild@CTGuild12 Jun 2025
The @chicagotribune is offering buyouts to our journalists. This move by Alden Global Capital, our rapacious ownership group, shows a total lack of vision and respect for the newsroom and the city we serve. We will do whatever we can to support our members. (1/4)

The Sun-Times Guild is aware of the third-party “summer guide” content in the Sunday, May 18 edition of the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper. This was a syndicated section produced externally without the knowledge of the members of our newsroom. 🧵👇

The fact that it was sixty-plus pages of this “content” is very concerning — primarily for our relationship with our audience but also for our union’s jurisdiction.

Our members go to great lengths to build trust with our sources and communities and are horrified by this slop syndication. We call on Chicago Public Media management to do everything it can to prevent repeating this disaster in the future.
