Max Schmid Candidate Statement

I have been producing at WBAI since 1978, and have held a variety of paid and unpaid positions at the station over the years, including elected Arts Dept. rep to the Program Council for several years, Staff rep to the LAB, shop for several terms as steward in the United Electrical Union. I have worked in the Operations Department as paid staff since 1989, and was appointed acting Department Head of Operations for 18 months in 2002-2003.

The current situation at WBAI - membership at a low point, years of failed fund-drives, lay-offs imminent - is as dire as any time I can remember since I've been here. I fear for the continued existence of the station at the rate things are going. I hope that my decades of experience can help to turn the situation around before it's too late. If elected, I will represent the concerns of both paid and unpaid staff to the board.
