******* ACTION ALERT **********
CALL ADVERTISERS SUPPORTING SCAB NEWSPAPERS
Day #2 of Scab Publication
The monopoly San Francisco Newspaper Agency, which operates both the
San Francisco CHRONICLE and SF EXAMINER has launched an all-out assault
on its unionized workers. Some advertisers have withdrawn advertising
for the duration of the strike, but others continue to advertise in these
publications. We mst make it clear to these advertisers that they will
lose sales by such scab advertising.
Not only has the SF Newspaper Agency refused to come to acceptable
terms with its workers and is now operating a scab newspaper, yesterday it
sent letters to all striking employees threatening to permanently replace
them. Any advertiser that supports the newspapers under these conditions
should be threatened with boycott.
Not only should all Bay Area residents boycott the newspapers, but
everyone across the country should call national advertisers who continue
to fund the scab newspaper and tell them you will no longer shop at their
stores if they continue to advertise in the SF CHRONICLE or EXAMINER.
Here is an list of advertisers to call (with phone numbers). All
had advertisements in the Friday, Nov. 4thCHRONICLE. Contact both the
corporate advertising office and use the general numbers and slow down
their business:
EMPORIUM 1-213-227-2000 (corporate office in LA)
1-800-626-4800 (mail order number)
Emporium had multiple ads on Dy 1 and has even more on Day 2.
Today, they have 4-1/2 full pages of advertising. Make calling Emporium
your top priority, especially since they have a history of union-busting
among their own employees.
MACY'S 1-800-820-2663 (Advertising Office)
1-800-622-9748 (Corporate office)
Macy's had advertising on both Day 1 and Day 2. They reportedly
are pulling advertising from future scab newspapers, but it is worth it
to call them and reinforce that message (and thank them for pulling the ads.)
CAMBRIDGE SOUNDWORKS 1-800-367-4434 (ex. 2, ask for advertising)
Talked to advertising folks, but they were pretty determined to
keep advertising. Keep calls going in. Especially, if you're not in
California, keep dialing the 800- numbers and let them know that
supporting a scab newspaper will cost them money.
JC PENNY 1-800-222-6161 (Catalog Ordering-general complaint)
1-510-225-0110 (Regional office that places ads)
CIRCUIT CITY 1-510-847-9201 (Division Office)

WHOLE EARTH ACCESS 1-510-428-1600 (Corporate office)
MR. LIQUOR 1-415-731-6222
A small store which is really debating whether
to continue advertising. Worth a call.
