Data released by the Center for Responsive Politics in early 2004 revealed that Clear Channel executives donated $42,200 to Bush compared to $1,750 to Democrat Presidential candidate John Kerry.

On February 5th Clear Channel told the union that it was canceling the negotiations scheduled for February 13th and 14th. The union requested evidence that Clear Channel did not have majority support from the bargaining unit and has not received a response from Clear Channel to date. The union is now saying the Clear Channel violated Section 8 (a) (1) and (5) of the Act by "failing and refusing to continue negotiations, and by unilaterally withdrawing recognition from the Union as the lawful collective bargaining representative of the unit."
