Fixing A Broken Immigration System: |
|
Latino Immigrants Rights Leadership Respond To Obama |
|
with |
|
Oscar Chacon, Executive Director, National Alliance of |
|
Latin |
|
American and Caribbean Communities (NALACC) |
|
and |
|
Benita Jain, Co-Director, Immigrant Defense Project, New |

|
|
Following the major speech by President Obama on |
|
immigration, and in |
|
the wake of rising xenophobic and racist attacks against |
|
the immigrant |
|
populations, immigrant rights advocates critique what is |
|
at the core of our |
|
current policy - that today s immigrants pose a threat to |
|
the nation, and |
|
discuss what a new U.S. immigration law that is humane, |
|
fair & visionary |
|
should look like. |

Mott s Applesauce Management Is Rotten To The Core |
|
with |
|
Mike LeBerth, President, Local 220 RWDSU |
|
and |
|
Fred Acevedo, Mott's Worker, Member Local 220 |
|
|
|
More than 300 workers were forced to strike after being |
|
treated like a |
|
bunch of rotten apples by overpaid executives like CEO |
|
Larry Young |
|
who made $6.5 million last year in total compensation. |
|
The workers |
|
contract at the Williamson, N.Y. plant owned by Dr. |
|
Pepper Snapple |
|
expired April 16 and the company demanded a $1.50 per |
|
hour wage |
|
cut for all workers, a pension freeze for current |
|
employees and |
|
elimination of a pension for future employees, decreased |
|
employer |
|
contributions to the company s 401(k) retirement plan and |
|
increased |
|
employee contributions toward health care premiums and co- |
|
pays. |
