Sacramento Bee Boycott Information

« on: March 07, 2008, 08:52:16 AM »

This thread is for sharing information on how you are fighting the Sacramento Bee regarding the release of state employee information. Please feel free to post advertiser information, contact information for Bee employees, etc. If the Bee is going to deal a low blow to state workers, you can bring the fight right back to them.

Dear Sir or Ma’am,

We feel it is only fair to warn you of actions we are taking that may significantly impact your company’s sales in Sacramento, CA. Employees of the State of California are boycotting the Sacramento Bee newspaper, The McClatchy Company, and any business that advertises with them.

We have identified your company as a Bee advertiser. Until the Sacramento Bee meets our demands we will not purchase goods or services from your company.

Why are we doing this?
The Sacramento Bee recently created an easily accessible online database that includes the personal information (Name, Salary, Department, etc) of every employee within the state. This action places all employees at increased risk of identity theft. In addition, the State employs thousands of law enforcement officers, agents, auditors, and investigators that are constant targets of retaliation. We also note that some employees are worried that ex-spouses or other dangerous stalkers may be able to use this information to find them.
Our demands
The Sacramento Bee must remove individual employee’s names from their database.
The Sacramento Bee must publish a formal written apology to State employees for exposing them to this risk.
The Sacramento Bee must agree to compensate State employees for any damages that result from this action.
What can you do?

We would hope that you agree with our cause and voluntarily remove your ads from the Sacramento Bee. However, if nothing else you may find this is ample justification to ask for a significant reduction in your ad costs.

Finally, I want to assure you that we don’t hold any personal animosity toward your company. However, financial pressure of boycotting the Sacramento Bee and their advertisers is the only recourse we have.

Very respectfully,

Great letter e8soldier! I'll use that, but you may want to add that their circulation numbers have dropped significantly last year and many people have canceled their subscriptions because of this incident.

This too, is info in the public domain. You know what to do.

I found it useful to google " company name + CEO + Board of Directors + Email + Contact

If you find one address google just the CEO's name + @company's name.

example: Michael Eisner @disney.com

Please try to find the rest of these. I have to travel out of town for a few days....

From the SEIU website today:

"we are organizing a demonstration at the Bee’s offices between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00, on March 12; following our protest, we will deliver our petition to Bee editors. Please join us at the corner of 24st & Q Streets (a light rail station is at 23rd & R and there is ample street parking next to the Bee offices)."
