As the first day of negotiations for a new contract at the Minneapolis Star Tribune got underway Tuesday, Dec. 18, more than 50 Guild members lined the halls to support their bargaining team.

Guild members held green signs that read, "Show Us The Green in 2013." In photo below, they are greeting members of the management bargaining team; in the top photo, they are greeting Guild team member Mike Kaszuba.

The current contract expires Jan. 31, 2013.
