A rally was held in front of KPFA Pacifica in Berkeley on 2/12/20 to report on the failure by management to pay the property taxes on the building for six years. The speakers also discussed the proposed new bylaws that will corporatize the Pacifica Foundation with outsiders including the former president of the UAW Bob King who covered up massive corruption in the UAW. Nearly the entire leadership is either in jail under indictment for fraud and misuse of the membership dues.
The rally speakers also discussed the cancellation of WorkWeek which is the only regular labor radio show on KPFA. It was canceled by manager Quincy McCoy without any notice.
