Pacifica caught illegally shorting pensions of KPFA’s union workers “This is a form of wage theft, and it is a very serious matter,” Huggins wrote. “The scope of this problem is large: We have seen this pattern for every employee whose records we have been able to check. With employees who’ve maintained good filing systems, we’ve been able to identify similar problems as far back as a year and a half ago. And it is our understanding that Pacifica provides the same 403(b) plan to employees network-wide — which means this may be a problem that affects every Pa...

AM programming undermines KPFA fund drive; KFCF returns arts programming cancelled by KPFA KPFA’s fund drive ran five days longer than the last fall’s fund drive, but still fell $80,000 short of goal. The shortfall and overrun are almost entirely attributable to the change in KPFA’s morning lineup. The hours of 6-10AM raised an average of $8526 per day less than last fall – over the course of the drive, that adds up to a deficit of $145,000. Fundraising levels stayed roughly equivalent to the last drive in all other timeslots....

Employees at the other four Pacifica stations also have 403(b) plans, but it is not yet clear if Pacifica has dipped into those accounts....
