WBAI Staff Locked Out
source: savepacifica.net

In its latest arbitrary exercise of power, Pacifica has dismissed long-time New York station manager Valerie Van Isler and also fired recently appointed program director Bernard White. White's producer on the WBAI "Wake Up Call" morning show, Sharan Harper, was also dismissed. Pacifica executive director Bessie Wash, accompanied by a newly hired security guard company, changed the WBAI locks in the middle of the night Friday. WBAI staff are now locked out of the building, and are being admitted only on a "controlled entry" basis until further notice. White and Harper were threatened with arrest should they attempt to enter the building.
