Chicago Tribune Journalists File Federal Discrimination Lawsuit Against Alden on Thursday
May 17, 2024, 02:07 PM
Seven Chicago Tribune journalists have filed a federal class-action discrimination lawsuit against the newspaper and its owner, Alden Global Capital. The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, alleges violations of equal pay based on sexual and racial discrimination. The plaintiffs claim that Alden has knowingly paid Black and female journalists less than their White and male counterparts. This legal action highlights significant pay disparities within the newsroom, which have persisted despite previous complaints. The journalists are standing up not only for themselves but also for other women and reporters of color in the newsroom.
