Our Union has been active for over 100 years in the Chicagoland area and we are proud of our history and knowledge in the Graphic Industry. Having the International Brotherhood of Teamsters behind us we work to negotiate the best contracts possible and to provide the strongest day-to-day union representation for our members.
What's New 
District Council 4 would like to wish all our members a Happy and Safe Memorial Day.
Let us take a moment and reflect on all our military men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for all our freedoms we have today in our country.
Big Corporations like Alden Global Capital have gone around purchasing Newspapers and slowly draining the profits and killing the news and the employees that work for the paper. Newspapers are more than just a simple printed material. They report on local and world news that is not biased or controlled by any faction, not like information reported on social media outlets.
On Saturday, May 15th Local 458M rallied with our Chicago Tribune Members along with other Labor Unions to show Alden Global Capital that the Tribune employees are not alone and will not allow our friends to be pushed around. Over 100 employees rallied in front of the Freedom Center in the hope to stop the sale of the Tribune to this investment group.
We need to work hard to protect the jobs at the Chicago Tribune, it is a staple of our city!

A number of participants have recently received notices regarding settlement of a class action involving Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The Fund receives certain services from Blue Cross and Blue Shield and is reviewing claims the Fund has against Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The Fund cannot provide advice to individual participants regarding the settlement. However, because the Fund pays the BCBS fees, and may possess claims against BCBS that it will evaluate and possibly pursue, individuals may conclude they don't need to take further action. www.BCBSsettlement.com can provide additional information. The Fund Office possesses no additional information relevant to individuals' possible claims.
