Exciting news from our new colleagues @dhnewsguild! We stand in solidarity with them in their fight for union recognition.
Today the editorial workers of the Daily Herald in suburban Chicago have formed a union, the Daily Herald News Guild. Follow us on @dhnewsguild on X and Instagram. We're also on Facebook.

This weekend, dozens of Chicago Tribune journalists will be on standby as huge protests promise to arise in our city.
At the same time, many of us will be organizing to fight buyouts. Our work is essential to democracy, and it's under attack. I'm grateful for my union today.
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)

This buyout offer represents a moral, business and civic failure by Tribune ownership. We should focus on building readership by investing in strong coverage, not cutting staff to satisfy short-term greed. Shame on Alden Global Capital, always.

Seven Sun-Times Guild members have decided to take buyouts in the past six weeks — and we expect more to exit soon.
Chicago Public Media told us they needed to slash $3-5 million through buyouts and other cost cuts.
Today, we’re concerned management might resort to layoffs.

Today Chicago Public Media is launching a pledge drive asking for donations to protect public media.
With more buyouts this week and potential layoffs as soon as next week, we want CPM to do its part by finding non-labor cuts and more creative revenue solutions.

The most important thing I’ve done in journalism is help lead and organize @CTGuild. Without our union, the @chicagotribune would be left to the malevolent whims of corporate goons. Happy Labor Day to the newsroom journalists who write, photograph, edit and keep people informed

@ChiNewsGuild members demand that @tribpub rescind these layoffs and restore Wendy Fox Weber and Nancy Swanson their jobs!

Across Illinois, there are nearly 90% fewer newspaper journalists working today than there were 20 years ago— and small towns and suburbs have seen the biggest declines. Alden has more readers than any newspaper company in Illinois, and those readers deserve better

Add 2 more to the list of 1000s of cuts that are hurting local news in Chicagoland.
Monday, @GuildSuburban unit chair and longtime @tribpub entertainment editor Wendy Fox Weber was and @ThePioneerPress editorial asst. Nancy Swanson were told their jobs were being cut

Today’s excellent @chicagotribune is a great example of why AI can’t do our jobs, and why our bosses @SCMitchP @pjurik @chasejohn need to tell corporate that (starting with Par Ridder)

Thank you @WGNNews @JulianCrewsWGN for the interview. This isn’t just @CTGuild fight but is something our editors @chicagotribune should absolutely be advocating against. CC @SCMitchP @pjurik @chasejohn

14 years @chicagotribune and now our owner wants to replace my work with AI. But can AI get the nuance about the human condition? No. Journalism needs a human to report the humanity in our communities of color. This work needs empathy, compassion, experience, not bots. @CTGuild
Chicago Tribune Guild retweeted
My employer, Alden Global Capital, wants the power to replace my colleagues and me with artificial intelligence. As a @CTGuild member and as a reporter, this is offensive to me and the countless talented, passionate *humans* that tell thoughtful stories at the Chicago Tribune.
Chicago Tribune Guild retweeted
Today I’m on the Lolla beat and ready for a day of sweat, fun and music — and of talking with festivalgoers, listening to artists, to share their feelings, emotions and stories with the world! This is the soul journalists put into their work that A.I. will never match. 🧵
Chicago Tribune Guild retweeted
My job for the @chicagotribune is to hold politicians and public officials accountable. It takes knowledge, experience and human relationships. But Alden Global Capital wants the unfettered ability to outsource our @CTGuild jobs or replace us with AI. We won't have it.
