Our union is grateful and relieved to report we have ratified a historic three-year collective-bargaining agreement with Chicago Sun-Times Media. Sun-Times Guild members approved the deal Tuesday in a nearly unanimous vote. 🧵👇

Our thoughts are with our @CTGuild siblings who are once again falling prey to the vultures at Alden Global Capital.
Chicago Tribune Guild@CTGuild

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@CTGuild

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)

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.

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.

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. 🧵👇

Thank you to all of the treasured colleagues we are losing today. It won't be the same without all of you. You were the heart and soul of the Sun-Times. The Sun-Times is losing some amazing journalists. They wouldn't want us to stop. chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/202…

"That’s journalism, especially at the Sun-Times. Never enough time, never enough space, never enough people." The Sun-Times is losing some amazing journalists. They wouldn't want us to stop. chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/202… beautifully written by @NeilSteinberg

Special thanks to my longtime Sun-Times colleague Rich Roeper for his excellent, prolific work — and most of all his loyalty to the Sun-Times and huge role in fortifying our brand, which has been a key source of our survival. Big loss for the paper, but kudos on a job well done.

After more than 37 years at the Chicago Sun-Times, I have decided to accept a buyout. My last day will be this Friday. It's been a great privilege--but I am moving forward. I have no intention of stopping or even slowing down. Cheers. docs.google.com/document/d/10H…

A 45-year career in sportswriting in two pictures — from the Chiefs-Colts on Sept. 2, 1979 at Arrowhead Stadium to the Bears-Packers on Jan. 5, 2025 at Lambeau Field. I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Since 1967, the Chicago Sun-Times has had two lead film critics: Roger Ebert and yours truly. There was no pressure in succeeding Roger, because there was zero chance I could match his knowledge, talent and passion. But I AM proud of the effort I put in to honor his legacy.

Thirty employees of the Chicago Sun-Times — around one in five on its payroll — have agreed to resign under buyout terms the paper’s nonprofit ownership offered in hopes of stanching persistent financial deficits. chicago.suntimes.com/money/2025/03/…

Guild co-chair Nader Issa said employees have concerns about revenue strategies and were “disturbed” by the “dramatic downsizing.” Co-chair Mitch Armentrout said many “feel like the powers that be don’t have full familiarity with the Sun-Times.” chicago.suntimes.com/money/2025/03/…
