"Bring Back The Morning Mix" KPFA Workers And Community Speak Out For Morning Mix & Unpaid Staff
On Saturday May 31, 2014 community supporters of KPFA and KPFA workers
spoke out at a rally to defend the "Morning MIx" Shows and also to stand up
for the unpaid staff who produce 60% of the programming at the community
station. Local community programmers are being threatened with the loss of
their shows by a management that disregards their labor and work. An imported
show from Los Angeles called "Uprising" by Sonali Kolhatkar has been
replaced 5 local community shows which cover labor and many community events
at prime time. The KPFA workers also discussed the lack of support for the unpaid
staff by management versus the treatment of the paid staff.
