Baltimore Sun Guild reaches agreement with Tribune Publishing


The Baltimore Sun Guild has agreed to a three-year extension with Tribune Publishing, Baltimore Fishbowl reported. The extension maintains step-increase raises for young journalists, merit raises and other provisions from the old contract.
Sun journalists have been advocating for a universal pay boost for some months, and that’s possible with the extension, according to Baltimore Fishbowl.
Under the agreement, a pay raise for The Sun’s union members, with a top of 3 percent, is linked to current negotiations with the Chesapeake News Guild, which represents The Capital (Annapolis), The Carroll County Times and journalists in Baltimore Sun Media Group, Baltimore Fishbowl reports. If the Chesapeake News Guild manages to get a pay raise for its people, Sun journalists will also see a raise.
The Chesapeake News Guild is in a joint bargaining process that involves Tribune operations around the country where unions have recently formed, including The Hartford CourantThe Virginian-Pilot and the Chicago Tribune.
