KPFA Entrenched Staff Ignore Unions and Labor On Labor Day 2010 While KQED FM Has Program

It takes a real anti-labor programmer to refuse to mention the word union and privatization on Labor Day but it happened on KPFA's morning show with Concerned Listeners/"Save KPFA" supporter and CL hand picked host of the morning show Brian Edward-Tiekert. BET on the segment about the attack on public education could not mention the word union and privatization while interviewing Diane Ravich.
This was followed by another NPR type programmer Aimee Allison who interviewed liberal Zionist and union buster Rabbi Michael Lerner on her segment. Again no mention of unions and instead we get a long advertisement for joining Lerner's congregation. Lerner was involved in union busting in Berkeley at a non-profit he ran and now supports a Zionist state next to a Palestinian state with supposed equal rights for all.
This failure to provide the audience and supporters of KPFA with any serious programming on what's happening to working people including the locked out Castlewood Unite Here to public workers in California is a clear statement of where they want to go.
