TAX-AVOIDING FATCATS FIGHT UNIONS AT PBS:

Mayor Thomas M. Menino said yesterday that city officials are still hammering out WGBH?s payment for its fair share of city services ? as members of the beleaguered public TV giant?s biggest union rallied outside its lavish $85 million Brighton headquarters. . . . While Menino lauded WGBH?s educational programming, the station hasn?t paid the city a dime for services, such as snow removal and fire and police protection, since moving into its new building four years ago.” . . . Meanwhile, at least 100 people rallied outside the station in support of the Association of Employees of the Educational Foundation, Communications Workers of America, Local 1300, after WGBH management gave the union its final contract offer last month.

?Management is trying to bust the union,? said union secretary and radio music librarian Alice Abraham. ?The main problem is they?re trying to outsource all of our jobs.?

From the Huffington Post to PBS, everybody’s exploiting the working class these days.
