Chicago Tribune and Tribune publishing journalists rallied Saturday outside their former headquarters downtown. 

Unionized reporters, photographers, editors and other newsroom employees have been without a contract for five years. 

On Saturday, the employees spoke out against their owner, Alden Capital's detrimental labor practices and profiteering-driven bargaining efforts.

The union employees want a fair contract with salaries that match the cost of living in the Chicago area and job security.
