Unionbusting; Corporate
Takeover Protested
At WBAI/Pacifica
NEW YORK, NY
Hundreds of supporters of WBAI and its embattled staff
gathered outside the offices of the unionbusting law firm Epstein, Becker and
Green on Feb. 20 to protest the corporate takeover of WBAI and the Pacifica
stations. John Murdock, a member of Pacificas board, is an attorney with
Epstein, Becker.
The rush-hour rally was sponsored by Concerned Friends of WBAI
and UE Local 404, which represents the radio stations staff. The union is
fighting for the reinstatement Sharan Louise Harper, a UE steward, who was
fired without cause or due process in December.
Local 404 also opposes the imposition of new station
management by the Pacifica Foundation, the banning of unpaid staff covered by
the contract and the presence of security guards. Intl. Rep. Bruce Klipple
addressed the rally. Shown here with the UE sign is Local 404 Pres. Joe
Miglino.
