Tribune Content Guild

Our bargaining team is in person in Chicago again today, ready to finish this contract and improve conditions for journalists across the country. Is Alden?

That light is starting to shine through the cracks in their exploitative business model. We see you, Alden Global Capital. And we’ll see you at the bargaining table.

Ever wonder what’s it like to try and get a fair contract out of Alden Global Capital? Ever ask yourself if dealing with that “notorious” hedge fund is really all that notorious? Can’t be THAT bad, right? Well, let’s play a game of “True, False or Dare,” then you be the judge!

Our bargaining team is in person in Chicago ready to secure a fair contract that retains a 401(k) match for TCA Guild employees. We want to improve working conditions for journalists across the country. Does Alden? 13/13

Alden does not want to share even that minimal responsibility. An underfunded retirement is not only an employee’s problem – it’s society’s problem. Privatize the profits, externalize the negative consequences. That’s what it means to zero out a company 401(k) match. 12/13

Alden Global Capital, the owner of Tribune Content Agency, signaled in contract bargaining its intention to discontinue the company 401(k) match, despite initially agreeing to maintain it. This would be a pay cut, pure and simple. 1/13
