Salary increases

Employee relations files, chiefly job applications and routine "tickets" for salary increases. Only a sampling of the available materials was brought to the Tribune Company Archives for preservation. The principal interest of these materials lies not in the individuals, but in company policies and procedures with respect to such things as salary determination, salary increases, severance pay, vacations, time cards, pensions and other retirement benefits.

Members of the employee relations staff involved in the correspondence include Robert Bosau (personnel and then employee relations manhager from 1975-05 to 1978-02); Ron Musil (personnel manager under Heraty); Larry Deever; and in the compensation division Linda Ceratto, Susan Gallagher, Sandy Lark, and Terry Hakala. Others involved include Robert M. Hunt (president of Chicago Tribune); Harold Lifvendahl (general manager); and L.A. van Vlissingen (former personnel manager and at this time in charge of personnel matters for the editorial department).
