On October 31, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved an application to increase the strength of the broadcast signal for KSKQ 89.5 FM. The upgrade to 560 watts will allow KSKQ to reach much of the Rogue Valley, including Medford, Talent, Phoenix, Central Point, White City, and Jacksonville.

Rogue Residents Against Walmart urges Walmart to Respect Workers

Rogue Residents Against Walmart (Worker Retaliation), 24.11.2012 - 22:25
RRAW, Rogue Residents Against Walmart is in the process of possibly changing our name to RRAWWR - Rogue Residents Against Walmart Worker Retaliation.

RRAWWR asserts that most of the workers get so few hours that they qualify for food stamps, get no health or pension benefits until they have been with the corporation so many years, and that the Walton family has accumulated as much wealth as nearly half the US population by depriving their workers of a living.

Undignified Corporate Takeover ➡ Ashland Community Hospital

S T O P * D I G N I T Y * H E A L T H, 19.10.2012 - 20:55
Here is the latest on the "Corporate Takeover" in (so-called) progressive Ashland, Oregon!

Following you will find a well written update on how things stand regarding the current takeover of our community hospital. Our city council is run by the chamber of commerce and they line up time and time again to do the bidding for the 1%. The privatization of what we locally have owned continues and it hurts to see this happening not just here, but everywhere.
