KO.OP-FM in Austin,, Texas---a Pacifica affiliate---has been running
an informational
disclaimer before and after its broadcasts of the Pacifica Network News.
This is the revised disclaimer, as of 12-18-96.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Hey all!
KOOP Radio has received new information on the Pacifica/UE issue. This is a revised disclaimer to reflect this new info.
P.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Pacifica Network News is produced by a unionized work force with
a contract but the Pacifica Foundation is currently in a labor dispute
with unionized workers at WBAI/New York and KPFK/Los Angeles. Pacifica
is no longer using a union busting consulting firm for it's contract negotiations
with the United Electrical Workers. Pacifica has has said they will negotiate
with the UE in good faith with the goal of having a fair contract with
it's unionized workers but Pacifica has not withdrawn it's attempt to exclude
90% of the workers from union protection or other contract proposals that
the workers do not consider fair or equible. KOOP will continue to monitor
the situation.
For more info,
Call the United Electrical Workers at: (412) 471-8919
Call The Pacifica Foundation at: (510) 428-9196
