MOTION on adherence to Federal Trade Commission
Regulations

Whereas, the failure to mail out premiums in a timely fashion has disenfranchised many of our members
and harmed our reputation,

and, whereas,

It is a violation of Federal Trade Commission
regulations:

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/business-guide-ftcs-mail-internet-or-telephone-order

What
is the Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Rule?
The Rule requires that when you advertise merchandise, you must have
a reasonable basis for stating or implying that you can ship within a certain time. If you make no shipment statement,
you must have a reasonable basis for believing that you can ship within 30 days. That is why direct marketers sometimes
call this the "30-day Rule."

If, after taking the customer’s order, you learn that you cannot ship within the
time you stated or within 30 days, you must seek the customer’s consent to the delayed shipment. If you cannot obtain
the customer’s consent to the delay -- either because it is not a situation in which you are permitted to treat the
customer’s silence as consent and the customer has not expressly consented to the delay, or because the customer has
expressly refused to consent -- you must, without being asked, promptly refund all the money the customer paid you for
the unshipped merchandise.

and further,

Why You Should Comply with the Rule
Merchants who violate the
Rule can be sued by the FTC for injunctive relief, monetary civil penalties of up to $16,000 per violation (any time
during the five years preceding the filing of the complaint), and consumer redress (any time during the three years
preceding the filing of the complaint). When the mails are involved, the Postal Service also has authority to take
action for problems such as non-delivery. State law enforcement agencies can take action for violating state consumer
protection laws.

Apart from this, your failure to ship on time, or your failure to notify your customers promptly
about delays and to obtain their consent to the delays, or your failure to make full and prompt refunds when your
customers do not consent to delayed shipment, can adversely affect your business by discouraging repeat purchases.
Accordingly, most businesses regard compliance with the Rule as simply good business practice.



Therefore,
be it resolved that because any failure to follow the above guidelines puts KPFK and the Pacifica Foundation at risk it
is prohibited by this body. The General Manager is responsible for ensuring that these FTC guidelines are strictly
adhered to. Any failure on the part of the GM or any other station employee to enforce them will be considered a severe
infraction with consequences that may include a negative job report, immediate dismissal and/or other serious
disciplinary actions.

MOTION regarding Sexual Harassment
Training

Whereas in 2007 KPFK had to pay close to $500,000 in legal and other expenses due to one specific sexual
harassment lawsuit,

And Whereas other discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuits have cost the Pacifica
Foundation large sums of money in the past,

And Whereas it is the law in California that sexual harassment
training needs to be done every 2 years by supervisory personnel and within 6 months for any supervisory person newly
hired,

And Whereas almost every staff member, both paid and unpaid, has some supervisory
responsibilities,


Be it Resolved that all staff at KPFK (both paid and unpaid) complete online sexual
harassment training within 2 months if they have not completed such training in the last 2 years.

Below is a
quote from the California Dept. of Fair Employment and
Housing:

http://www.dfeh.ca.gov/Publications_StatLaws_SexHarrass.htm


Employers with 50 or more
employees must provide at least two hours of classroom or other effective interactive training and education regarding
sexual harassment to all supervisory employees who are employed as of July 1, 2005, and to all new supervisory employees
within six months of assuming a supervisory position. There after, covered employers must provide sexual harassment
training and education to each supervisory employee once every two years.
