Baton Rouge, LA
Last Friday an administrative law judge with the state labor agency ordered that some 360 Filipino teachers working in Louisiana should be reimbursed $1.8 million in fees they'd paid to a recruiting firm. The ruling settles part of a suit filed last October. The American Federation of Teachers and the Louisiana Federation of Teachers filed the lawsuit on the teachers' behalf against the recruiting firm, California-based Universal Placement International. Steve Monaghan is president of that state teachers' union, and he joins WRKF's Saiward Pharr in the studio. On Wednesday, a spokesperson for Universal Placement International said the company had no comment on last week's ruling. Related Articles
