Part 2, continued from Phelps: Fortunately for all of us this anti-democracy group that runs KPFA allowed us to get our hands on a very revealing e-mail from Brian Edwards-Tiekert to their group. It exposes what they really think, different from their public spin.

I'm up for coffee Saturday—Lisa and I can still meet Tuesday afternoon. Also, we need a general strategy session. How about Tuesday night? Issues include: How should we be handling the expiration of the union contract—is a strike in order, or is it a really terrible idea? What's the best way to deal with these layoffs? Coming up with, and presenting, an alternative budget. Getting the Roy issue to the national board. Propping up staff morale. Strategic retreat on the LSB—how do we make our enemies own the problems that are to come? Alternatively, should we be recalling LSB members/dismantling the LSB? (Emphasis added.) Dealing with the grievances underway. Building community support—formation of a labor-community coalition.
