From the article Quote:
A study completed by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, which Miller said has joined with the Teamsters, conducted a study from September 2006 to September 2007, the year preceding the pilot program. The study identified that Mexican trucks had 1,700 safety violations, Miller said.
"We'd like to see NAFTA repealed," Miller said. "Just because we have a so-called agreement doesn't mean that Mexican companies can come to our country and break our law.
"It (NAFTA) has nothing to do with Mexican truck drivers," she added. "In our view, NAFTA isn't about trade. NAFTA's about cheap labor." | And All The Kings (GEORGE) men were ordered to do it another way! Quote: "The administration could find another way of doing this," Cuellar said.
If not, cross-border trucking for Mexican companies is at a standstill for a year, he said.
"This is a tactic that they use," Cuellar said. "If the Congress is not happy with something and they can't change the law … they say, ‘OK, the law's there but we're not going to fund it.'"
| Some of them just don't get "Listen to the people" I guess.  |
