Ever wonder how supportive KQED is of their workers ?

Why should executives at KQED pay less for their healthcare than the employees in the
mailroom and other departments?

This week your public broadcast station – KQED, Channel 9 is asking you to pledge your support and send them money. What they don’t want the public to know is that there is a dispute between management and the workers. For the last 50 years workers contributed the same amount to their healthcare as the top management.

Now out of every paycheck KQED is charging workers an annual increase that is twice what the CEO pays for his own health care insurance.
Here’s how you can pledge your support for the workers at KQED:

1. Instead of responding to the KQED pledge drives directly; please send your membership pledge and contribution directly to the bank address below. It will be held by the bank until the current health care issue is resolved. At that time your pledge and contribution will be forwarded to KQED and processed by the KQED
Membership Department. Should KQED management decide not to treat their workers equitably, your pledge and contribution will be returned to the address you provide.

2. Please call KQED and let them know this two-tier healthcare is not acceptable at your public broadcasting station. Jeff Clarke, President and CEO of KQED can be reached at (415) 553-2201 or email at jclarke@ ncpb.com.

Thank you for supporting the workers and their families at KQED.

October 2006 - KQED acquires KTEH, San Jose and KCAH, Monterey.  The merged group is named Northern California Public Broadcasting.

November 22, 2006, KTEH master control operators unanimously vote to join NABET local 51.

February 2007 - As you may have guessed, all but one of the master control operators were let go.  All operations are now out of KQED master control.  We did negotiate a fair severance package for those leaving.
