Chicago Tribune Guild<\/p><\/div>\n

As expected, Chicago Tribune<\/a> bosses turned down a request for immediate recognition of its editorial employees\u2019 union Wednesday, prompting the Chicago Tribune Guild <\/a>to seek an election supervised by the National Labor Relations Board. The unit claims \u201coverwhelming support\u201d \u2014 with more than 85 percent of eligible staffers signing union cards. \u201cIf the company decides to recognize our union effort before then, we are happy to withdraw our petition for an election and begin moving forward in the bargaining process,\u201d Guild leaders said. \u201cThey still have the option to change their mind, and we encourage them to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

First Division Museum at Cantigny Park<\/p><\/div>\n

With the late Colonel Robert R. McCormick<\/strong> and his heirs in the news,<\/a> it\u2019s worth noting that the former Chicago Tribune editor and publisher\u2019s estate in Wheaton has a milestone coming up. The First Division Museum at Cantigny Park<\/a> will mark the centennial of the Battle of Cantigny with a daylong commemoration May 28. McCormick fought in the historic World War I battle in France and later named his vast west suburban property after it. The family-friendly event is hosted by the McCormick Foundation,<\/a>\u00a0which administers the museum and estate. (Here is the link for information.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s comment of the day: <\/a>Lissa Druss:<\/strong> Shia [Kapos] has always been one of the best reporters. When we are living in a time of shrinking journalism, Shia is a survivor BECAUSE of her talent. The fact that she is running her own popular blog proves she's a force. Clearly people are still going to her with scoops. Every time you read Shia, it's NEWS \u2014 not retread.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
