Sureya SayadiNo, but I believe that the lack of transparency and unequal treatment is responsible for thepresent and growing list of lawsuits against KFPA and Pacifica. The effort by the management and the counsel to blame the lawyers and the workers who have filed suits is misplaced. We need to have a management that is accountable and has personnel rules that are fairly implemented. Blaming lawyers and mostly women who have sued Pacifica is not going to solve the systemic problem at our network and station. Instead it covers over those who are responsible but have failed to properly manage the station and the network. Also as Unpaid staff I was involved to produce a grievance procedure and bylaw, also a policy and bylaw to safeguard the Unpaid staff, because when there was a grievance from one Unpaid staff against another Unpaid staff (verbal abuse) the management never worked on the issue until that staff became tired and left. Also myself and our Middle East Radio and labor collective were instrumental in passing a resolution against Violence at the station under previous management.

Jim WeberNo.
