2010 strife at listener-sponsored KPFA Radio in Berkeley is dying down after the National Labor Relations Board dismissed 3 complaints and former host Aimee Allison lost an arbitration hearing on the voluntary and involuntary layoffs last fall. KPFA has improved its financial position by over $350,000, reduced its operating deficit by 85% and has increased listener support donations by 3.5% since October of 2010. 

The advice memo issued by the National Labor Relations Board in April of 2011 can be referenced below.  Two additional complaints were similarly withdrawn after facing dismissal.

Arbitration hearings for former host Aimee Allison ended with the layoff for financial exigency upheld by the CWA arbitrator.

KPFA, which was perched on an abyss, after two consecutive years of more than $550,000 losses in addition to the 14-month disappearance of a $375,000 donation check received in October of 2008 and not recovered until December of 2009, has made a substantial financial rebound in 2011. Listener donations increased by 3.5%, overall revenue by 1.4% and  operating deficits reduced by 85% in only 10 months.
