Mexico Court Injunction

Hosted by
In the age of NAFTA and global free trade, manufacturers are worried about a big win for organized labor. LA Federal Judge Carlos Moreno ruled that a Gardena business could not lay off 118 recently unionized workers and move to Tijuana. Is his ruling a trend or an exception to the rule? We ask a union representative for Quadrtech employees, experts from academia, lobbying and employer advocacy groups, the US Labor Department, a manufacturers association specializing in NAFTA and the former chair of the National Labor Relations Board. Newsmaker: Florida Update - Special Session of Legislature - Florida's state courts and legislature have been struggling with who will be President of the United States. Mary Ellen Klas, a reporter for The Palm Beach Post, talks to us about Florida's activist court, determined legislature and hardball politics. Reporter's Notebook: Steve Horn Retains House Seat - Although the vote won't be certified until next week, Republican Congressman Steve Horn of Long Beach has been re-elected in a nail-biter with his Democratic opponent, Gerrie Schipske. We learn more about our electoral process from Kim Alexander of the California Voter Foundation.
