KPFA News Managers & Union "marty" MIA On Covering Rally To Defend ILWU 10

KPFA was missing in action MIA at an important Northern California labor rally to support ILWU Local 10 on April 25, 2011 which has been sued by the Pacifica Maritime Association for the rank and file taking work action on April 4, 2011 in support of the Wisconsin workers. Apparently KPFA News CWA managers Aileen Alfandary and Mark Mericle who also is a vice president of the CWA 9415 Local decided that it did not even deserve a mention on the evening news cast. The show which is posted at http://www.kpfa.org/archive/id/69266 does spend time on alleged corporate donations to a New York WBAI program and interviews a number of people. Union "martyr" Brian Edward-Tiekert has lots of stories on other things but not the important bay area labor action right across the bay in San Francisco. The CWA Northern California Organizer Libby Sayre has also also recently sent a scathing attack on ILWU Local 10 member Clarence Thomas for appearing on the Morning Mix show and apparently in retaliation the CWA News department managers have decided that they will censor the news when it comes to defending ILWU local 10.
KPFA listeners and supporters need to contact the manager of KPFA andrew [at] kpfa.org and the News Department management 510-848-6767x699 and call on them to cover the news as professionals and not tailor the news to their political agendas. The calls by the KPFA Worker blog about union busting doesn't seem to cover their manipulation by the News Department management at KPFA.
