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. If you have a story you would like to submit please do not hesitate in contacting us.

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