LABOR PROGRAMMING ON KPFA RADIO
The KFPA Labor Collective produces radio shows about
working people
throughout Northern California. We broadcast news
about labor issues,
ranging from deregulation, discrimination and union
organizing to
healthcare, housing and international labor
solidarity. Mainstream media
usually censors labor news. We intend to change that.

Our collective is part of Pacifica, a national radio
broadcast system, which
produces labor news in Houston, New York, Los Angeles
and San Francisco. In
Wisconsin, the Workers Independent News Service (WINS,
http://www.laborradio.org)
produces daily labor radio broadcasts on over 120
stations, including
commercial stations. Labor television shows appear on
community-access
television stations and some on PBS stations across
the USA. One
organization that has supported this effort is the
Union Producers and
Programmers
Networkhttp://www.laborbeat.org/3/uppnetnl.htm



One of our goals is to train working people to produce
stories about their
struggles and their lives. We are seeking people with
skills in Spanish,
Chinese and other languages. Our collective
participates in LaborTech, an
organization that convenes media workers to better use
technology
(http://www.labortech2004.org.) In the future, we plan to
develop a labor
media/news Internet portal for Northern California
that includes radio
shows, links to labor struggles and labor news.

If you wish to participate, please contact us. We meet
monthly at KPFA radio
in Berkeley. To be on our email list about our
programming, please send us
your name, address, phone, email and organization
information.

You do not have to be in a union to participate in the
KPFA Labor
Collective.
