It's a strike against Pacifica management, which affects all the Pacifica stations. Chief among the claims is that of excessive administrative cost by the Pacifica board, which is and expense KPFK shares.

All well and good but isn't this sort of like crapping in your own nest in that Pacifica a liberal leaning organization which is kind of a union friendly place.
