The Graphic Communications Conference of the Teamsters local 432-M wrote Union-Tribune advertisers this week, seeking their support in the union's long-running effort to get a contract with the company. The letter spoke of a "situation that should cause you grave concern." The union said it has proposed taking a 9% pay cut but can't get "a fair and equitable contract." The union says it will not accept outsourcing of jobs. The union sent a copy of the letter to the company's human resources department, warning that this was "a first step." In the past, U-T unions have had advertising campaigns trying to get people to drop subscriptions.
