Members of the six unions representing Honolulu Advertiser employees today voted overwhelmingly in support of a concessionary contract that calls for a 10 percent pay cut.

The vote, taken at the ILWU office on Atkinson Drive today, was 248-40 in favor of the contract that calls for the pay cut for workers as long as the newspapers' expenses are more than revenues, while preserving employees' pension, vacation, hours and overtime provisions. The contract runs through Dec. 31, 2010.

Employees will not face mandatory one-week furloughs being imposed on employees at most other newspapers owned by Gannett Co. Inc.
