Your coverage in Naperville has been compromised. A city of 150,000 deserves more than one full-time reporter.

[Suburban CT Guild @GuildSuburban]

Alden Global Capital & @TribPub make us all less safe.

Under Alden Global Capital, Tribune upholds glaring racial & gender pay inequities, makes illegal cuts to health care in a pandemic and cuts coverage.

Help to win the news our communities deserve.

@tvjedi The Signature Room at the 95th

[Suzanne Baker @SBakerSun1]

Billed the company $37.80 for mileage, only to find out three of the 7 pens don’t work. I need to hit up an expo/festival this weekend where businesses are giving away free pens. ⁦@GuildSuburban⁩

[Suzanne Baker @SBakerSun1]

5 hours and 84 miles later….. arrived home with 7 pens, 7 notebooks, 2 batteries for my mouse and 3 post-it pads. ⁦@GuildSuburban⁩

[Suzanne Baker @SBakerSun1]

@GuildSuburban Good luck Wendy!

[Suzanne Baker @SBakerSun1]

Headed home…

[Suzanne Baker @SBakerSun1]

After more than a hour commute and a 45-minute walk in a search for pens, I am taking a break for lunch. Need sustenance for the trip home. @GuildSuburban

[Suzanne Baker @SBakerSun1]

Spent 45 minutes searching for the supply cabinet with the help of security, who wanted to know where it was too. Not that I could get there because my badge doesn’t work here.

[Suzanne Baker @SBakerSun1]

I need pens and notebooks and the company told me to come pick them up. On my way…. ⁦@GuildSuburban

[Suburban CT Guild @GuildSuburban]

In the middle of the pandemic, @TribPub broke the law to make our health insurance worse and our communities less safe. Cutting coverage for our most vulnerable members, 14% premium increases and other aggressions are extreme even for them. And the U.S. gov’t agrees!

[Evan Brandt @PottstownNews]

That time when you realized that private equity was not just destroying local newspapers, but pretty much everything. @nyguild @PhillyNewsGuild @newsguild @dfmworkers Read the whole thread, and the whole series for the full picture of which my story is just a small part.

March 15 is equal pay day. The recent study shows that median pay for women is about $8,355 less than for male colleagues across the Tribune Publishing's unionized newsrooms. I am working to change that.

Pay for women is about $8,000 less than for male colleagues across the Tribune's unionized workplaces. My paycheck can attest to that. #InternationalWomensDay

[Suburban CT Guild @GuildSuburban]

@tribpub On #IWD – and all days – we want you to know @TribPub pays women $8,355 less than men, pays Black workers, Asian workers and Hispanic or Latino workers, respectively, $7,740, $7,510, and $4,530 less than white workers, and thinks that’s OK.

We don’t.

[Suburban CT Guild @GuildSuburban]

We wrap things up with love from @TBContentGuild to @tribdpsguild, two of the backbones of our our whole company!

[Suburban CT Guild @GuildSuburban]

More love from member to member, centered around @tribdpsguild

[Suburban CT Guild @GuildSuburban]

Still feeling the love this Valentine's Week for our union siblings @TBContentGuild. We'd just ❤️ to see this company try and function without your work.

[Suburban CT Guild @GuildSuburban]

Love love love, this time expressed between a reporter and a designer

[Suburban CT Guild @GuildSuburban]

We really do depend on each other almost as much as the company (@TribPub) we're fighting tooth and nail at the bargaining table. Solidarity across the country.
