- Among the employees who took buyouts, the guy who took this photograph
Fifteen members of the Chicago Newspaper Guild have taken buyouts from the Sun-Times, and Friday is the last day for most, Monday for a few with projects to wrap up. Before the buyouts, I was told the Sun-Times was down to 73 Guild employees. Jerry Minkkinen, retired executive director of the CNG, recalls that when he took that job in 1976, a time when the Sun-Times was owned by Field Enterprises and its afternoon sister, the Daily News, was still publishing, he represented more than 600 Guild members at the two papers.
