<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </P>
<P>Good afternoon John.</P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </P>
<P>I read with some interest your latest letter to a local newspaper. In recent
weeks I've resisted any public debate with you over the letter you received from
me more than two weeks ago. It is my opinion that these matters are between a
volunteer programmer and, in this case, the Business Development person . . .
me. Since you first raised the possibility of filing a grievance, I've been
encouraging you to do just that: file a grievance. I've also been upfront about
the rationale for my May 5, 2014 notice to you, a rationale found within the
Volunteer Handbook.</P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </P>
<P>Your justification for not reading the underwriting suggests that the timing
of reading underwriting is at the programmer's discretion. In fact it is not.
The handbook and other materials and presentations I've made to programmers make
this rather clear. It was reaffirmed in the updated 2003 handbook, which was and
is the programmer's guide to requirements and responsibilities. (I might add I
had nothing to do with writing the handbook as it predates me by five years.)
Please note the following excerpts, with which you should already be
familiar:</P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </P>
<P>"RIGHTS, REGULATIONS AND RULES</P>
<P>This section presents summaries of the rights, rules and regulations at MCPB.
Many of the points summarized here are addressed in more detail further on in
this handbook. Programmers assume responsibility for complying with both MCPB
and FCC rules and regulations. A PROGRAMMER WHO DELIBERATELY DOES NOT COMPLY IS
SUBJECT TO DISMISSAL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THIS
HANDBOOK.</P>
<P>REGULATIONS APPLYING TO PROGRAMMERS</P>
<P>A programmer is expected to:</P>
<P>1. be proficient in the operation of all equipment that is routinely needed
during his/her shift, 2. be informed of, and must follow all FCC rules and
regulations, 3. read and understand the contents of this handbook.</P>
<P>4. participate in and abide by conflict resolution and grievance procedures,
as outlined in this handbook.</P>
<P>5. read all underwriting announcements assigned to his/her program clearly
and without ad-libs.</P>
<P>6. keep accurate logs of his/her shift time.</P>
<P>7. air station promos, PSAs and other announcements as requested."</P>
<P>I hope you noticed the passage emphasized in the handbook: "A PROGRAMMER WHO
DELIBERATELY DOES NOT COMPLY IS SUBJECT TO DISMISSAL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THIS HANDBOOK."</P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </P>
<P>On more than one occasion during 2014, you did not read the underwriting as
scheduled. You're unhappy? Sorry about that but rules are rules. As for your
drumbeat of a potential grievance filing, I've done nothing but encourage you to
file for conflict resolution so we can both put this behind us. In fact, again
referring to the handbook, </P>
<P>"The first step of the conflict resolution procedure is to hold a discussion
of the problem by the parties involved, clarifying points of disagreement and
agreement, proposing solutions, and if possible, coming to a resolution." </P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </P>
<P>That seems straight-forward and, as indicated above, I have advocated for the
established procedure for conflict resolution since the beginning. The handbook
does not order or recommend that issues be litigated in the press or on
listserves. You, however, have chosen to regularly misrepresent the disagreement
on various listserves, and in the local press (as well as, I'm told, in at least
one local vanity publication.)</P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </P>
<P>I have no interest in a public litigation of your grievance in competing
emails or the press. And please resist the temptation to couch this in "free
speech" terms. If you truly believe that you are an aggrieved party, then call
for a meeting to find resolution. Until then I'm asking that you stop writing
letters to editors, or op-ed pieces, or postings on the listserves. It's time to
embrace and endorse the conflict resolution procedure you agreed to when you
became a programmer. Meet face-to-face. It really is that simple.</P>
