Members of the union that represents newsroom staff of
The Baltimore Sun have asked Tribune Co.'s CEO Dennis FitzSimons to either make sure the newspaper gets the resources it needs to maintain
quality or sell it. FitzSimons was in Baltimore to talk to the staff about possible changes, amid plans for the company to overhaul itself by year's-end. The
Sun has been owned by the
Chicago-based company since 2000. "We ask that Tribune treat those of us who work here with the respect we deserve and make sure that
Sun has the resources it needs to maintain the quality that
has allowed it to thrive," members of the
Sun's unit of the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild wrote to FitzSimons. "Either that, or sell
Sun to someone who will." The guild unit
represents more than 600
Sun employees in the news, advertising, finance, circulation, marketing, building and information systems departments.
