Chicago Tribune staffers filed a federal class-action lawsuit against the newspaper and its owner, Alden Global Capital, alleging race and sex discrimination in pay. The lawsuit claims that female and African American employees are paid less than their white male counterparts and seeks back pay for most Black and female reporters at the newspaper over the past five years. Attorneys for the seven plaintiffs are seeking class-action status, a jury trial, and a permanent injunction against unequal pay based on sex and race discrimination.
