We, the undersigned members of the paid and unpaid staff at KPFK-FM, request the Pacifica National Board to implement the recall procedure delineated in Article 4, Section 9E of the Pacifica Bylaws.

We are calling an election for the purpose of removing Rodrigo Argueta as a delegate elected to represent the KPFK staff, and as the sole staff delegate from KPFK on the Pacifica National Board, and have him replaced by another delegate and staff director.

Rodrigo Argueta has failed to represent the interests of the majority of the staff at KPFK, his constituents.

His actions have been hasty, reckless and taken with no consultation with those he claims to represent.

His agenda has been placed before the best interests of the organization and have not allowed the KPFK staff to have a voice in important governance decisions.

Specifically: Rodrigo Argueta voted against consulting with an HR or employment law professional before making very serious personnel decisions which put the foundation at jeopardy.

Pacifica’s board of directors has been warned by their insurance broker in writing to avoid further employment litigation or risk becoming uninsurable.

For these reasons, Rodrigo Argueta should be replaced by another delegate to better represent the interests of KPFK staffers in an ongoing Pacifica radio network.

I am a member of the paid or unpaid staff at KPFK-FM, a station operated by Pacifica Foundation Radio and qualified to vote as a staff member of KPFK. I would like the opportunity to vote for the replacement of Rodrigo Argueta as a staff delegate and director representing the KPFK staff in Pacifica governance.
