>Dear Members,
>
>  This is to let you know that the majority of active free-lance
>  contributors to the Pacifica Network News, produced in Washington,
>  D.C., are officially on strike for 3 months as of January 31, 2000.
>  They are striking to protest on-going censorship of the news and
>  public-affairs programming at the 50-year-old community-radio
>  network, a network founded on freedom of speech and open debate.
>
>  We ask you to support them by not filing stories for Pacifica Network
>  News during their strike, and to please forward this e-mail to your
>  colleagues at other media outlets so they can be informed about the
>  issues.  More information can be found at the strikers' web page,
>  along with an on-line press kit at:
>  http://www.savepacifica.net/strike.
>
>  If you would like to add your name (or your organization's name) in support
>  of the strike, you can do so on their web site.  Pacifica management is
>  trying hard to discredit the strikers, and circulating lies in its
>  press release about the job action.  Please give this your utmost
>  consideration.
>
>  Sincerely,
>
>Jonathan Tasini
>President

So does this mean that Mary Berry has won? That she and her people 
can now build up their own associated staff for Pacifica in the image 
of what they want it to be?
