Greetings All,
I am very concerned about the recent events that have taken place both in the station ,with the LSB /PNB ,and across the KPFA airwaves !
Let me be very clear about my position about the layoffs and budget matters:
All KPFA personnel decisions will be made by the ED,iGM,Asst. iGM & HRD.
No final decisions have been made about the KPFA budget or layoffs
KPFA staff & unpaid staff please maintain your integrity, dignity, & professionalism at all times
It is inappropriate to defame, denigrate, or slander staff, volunteers and or LSB / PNB members ON AIR OR OFF THE AIR (KPFA candidate forums).
****IF THIS CONTINUES THERE WILL BE CORRECTIVE ACTION
IT IS IMPERATIVE TO STOP THE KPFA CIVIL WAR TODAY!

The Concerned Listeners a.k.a SLAVE KPFA mob have shown that they want to turn Pacifica into a Mainstream Liberal mouthpiece( another NPR) where true radicals need not apply. However, if they care so much about equality, why is there 80% unpaid staff, leaving 20 percent of the SLAVE KPFA TO DETERMINE THE OUT COME FOR THOSE 80% UNPAID STAFF MEANING VOLUNTEERS. ON THE LSB THERE IS ONE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNPAID STAFF HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE, AND THE SLAVE KPFA MAKES IT SO UNPAID STAFF ONLY HAS ONE VOTE THAT COULD OR COULD NOT INFLUENCE THE REST OF THE LSB. AT THE SAME TIME THEY VOTE WITH LSB MEMBERS, AND MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE OUTNUMBERED. ALSO WHEN THE LAST MANAGER COLLEAGUE OF SLAVE KPFAS, IGNORED THE PROCESS OF UPSO. THEREFORE, MAKING UNPAID STAFF(VOLUNTEERS) EASIER TO TARGET FOR REMOVAL, AND FOR MOVING PEOPLE AROUND WITHOUT A LONG TERM PROCESS THAT HAD BEEN IN PLACE EVEN WITHOUT A MANAGER. NOW WE SEE THIS MINORITY SLAVE KPFA AS A THREAT TO THE WHOLE STATION WITH THE CORPORATE VIEW OF SLAVING KPFA, AND KICKING THE COMMUNITY OUT IN COMMUNITY RADIO. ASK THESE SLAVE KPFA HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT USING POLICE BRUTALITY, AND SACRIFICING VOLUNTEERS, COMMUNITY FOR THEIR PAYCHECKS. SLAVE KPFA WILL MAKE LISTENERS TRY TO PUT OUT MORE MONEY DURING FUND DRIVE, WHILE TRYING TO GET UNDERWRITING. FOLLOW THE MONEY OF THE SLAVE KPFA CAMPAIGN, AND HOW IS IT THAT THEY HAVE SO MUCH RESOURCES, TIME TO WRITE SELF PROMOTION ARTICLES, AND TRY TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES BY SELLING THE STATION OUT. SOME PEOPLE CALL IT MIDDLE CLASS, OTHERS CALL IT RICH AND YOU GOT TIME, AND MOST OF THE SLAVE KPFA CAMPAIGNERS ARE PAID STAFF?
Yes, Ahmad Anderson, the IGM of KPFA and Human Resources Director spoke . . . and no one listened. Are there ramifications for staff continuing to spread their misinformation on the air? Of course not.
Anderson is one of them and a lousy HR Director to boot. Unless you think always storming out of meetings is a good thing for an HR Director to do. What if all the staff followed his lead and did the same thing?

Dan Siegel and Conn Hallinan will probably be chair and vice chair of the LSB if their slate wins a majority in this election.
