******* ACTION ALERT **********
CALL ADVERTISERS SUPPORTING SCAB NEWSPAPERS
Day #7 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 Some advertisers have withdrawn advertising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 must make it clear to these advertisers that they will
lose sales by such scab advertising. A number of companies have promised
to pull ads or not advertise, so this threat is effective.
Here is an list of advertisers to call (with phone numbers). All
had advertisements in the Saturday, Nov. 7th CHRONICLE. Previous day's
advertisers are included after today's advertisers. Contact both the
corporate advertising office and use the general numbers, especially 800
numbers to slow down their business:
