Sun-Times to hire back some photographers


The Chicago Sun-Times will hire back an unspecified number of the 28 photographers – the entire full-time photo staff --  it fired in May. In return, the Chicago Newspaper Guild agreed to drop its unfair labor relations charge with the National Labor Relations Board.

It’s part of a three-year contract reached last week between Sun-Times Media and the Chicago Newspaper Guild that affects about 130 editorial staffers.

The Sun-Times now requires reporters and free-lance photographers to take the photos.
