DESCRIPTION:RALLY FOR GOOD FAITH NEGOTIATIONS      The Hearst/Chronicle contract 
 proposals submitted to the various Chronicle unions whose contracts expired 
 on July1, 2005 are intended to allow the Chronicle to outsource work, have 
 non-union employees doing union work, dramatically reduce wages, reduce 
 and/or eliminate each union’s jurisdiction, while creating two tier 
 conditions, wages and benefits. Despite the outrageous demands, the unions 
 have all entered into bargaining.        Pressmen’s Union Local 4 was 
 granted its first meeting with Company negotiators on May 13, 2005, but in 
 reality the Union had unsuccessfully tried for two years to initiate these 
 negotiations.  Now all of a sudden the Company is in a rush.        The 
 Company has so far refused to engage in serious discussions of what their 
 proposals mean and how their proposals would work in the pressroom. By no 
 means is the Pressmen’s Union alone in facing contract-gutting proposals. 
  But here is some of what Local 4 faces:      Reduction of wage rates of an 
 average of $10/hour   Extension of hours from 35 to 40 hours/week   Right 
 to earn vacation for “full time” employees only   No strike/no 
 solidarity/no sympathy clause      The Pressmen are bargaining; 
 Hearst/Chronicle is not.        Join us on July 11 at Noon.
