THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
PROGRAM # 7870 12:00 PM PT
On the eve of Labor Day weekend, this program focuses on a pressing farm labor topic.
Farmworker Overtime Pay.
A bill to grant farmworkers overtime pay advances in the California legislature amid a heated and highly partisan debate. If approved, California would end the almost 80-year exclusion in the nation from overtime provisions and become the first state in the US to give farmworkers the same right to overtime pay as non farm workers.
Guests: Gonzalo Nájera, Farmworker, Member, United Farm Workers, Salinas, CA; Antonio Cortés, Regional Director, United Farm Workers, Madera, CA
Trump’s Gambit: Mexico and Immigration. In a move to shore up his political campaign, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump met with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, calling him a “partner” in his fight against “illegal immigration,” and then went to Phoenix to arouse his followers by ratifying his call to build a “great border wall” and for mass deportations.
Guests: Donald Trump, Audio Cuts of Speech in Phoenix; Enrique Peña Nieto, Audio Cut of News Conference in Los Pinos, Mexico City.
