Stop Deliveries to Scab Hotels

Tell the Teamsters and all other delivery people to the scab hotels that Picketlines Mean DON"T CROSS! Tell the bosses that SF Police Code 9.5 prohibits professional strikebreakers (including lockouts).

Deliveries are still being made to the scab hotels, and they are still recruiting scab labor on the SF Chronicle's website, at http://www.sfgate.com/jobs/, then go to Top Jobs on the right side and click on View All Top Jobs at the bottom, then go to Hotels, where there are several scab job listings.

Everyone time you are walking that picketline, as all readers of this website who support labor should be doing, when you see a delivery truck unloading, be sure to yell scab and tell him/her that PICKETLINES MEAN DON'T CROSS!

The Central Labor Council must be told to issue an Order to all unions to not cross the picketlines. That is what being a Labor Council is all about: uniting and organizing labor.

REMINDER TO EVERYONE: Bring food to the picketlines. The workers only get $200 a week in strike benefits. We all know that does not go far at all to pay for rent, food, and all other bills.

As to the scab ads, send your protest to the SF Chronicle at classifieds [at] sfgate.com or call 415-777-7777 or 866-732-4766 x7777.

You should remind the Chronicle and the Board of Supervisors that hiring or promoting professional strikebreakers is illegal in San Francisco, under San Francisco's Police Code, Article 9.5, Sections 650 through 654 entitled: Prohibiting of Professional Strikebreakers at
