In case you didn’t know, Chicago Tribune journalist are striking — the first time our newsroom does in its 177 years. We’d be very grateful if you’d support us today: - DO NOT visit the Trib website - DO NOT engage w/ Trib social media - DO NOT open Trib emails or news alerts
Chicago Tribune journalists are going on strike for 24 hours tomorrow for the first time in history. @CTGuild has bargained for a fair contract since 2018. Alden responded by offering functional pay cuts & fewer benefits despite the Trib's profits. We're done playing games.
