SFPJ listers may be interested in PBS' NOW segment on Gulf Coast reconstruction, showing tonight at 8:00 on Wisconsin Public Television
(cable channel 2) and at 8:30 on Twin Cities Public Television (cable channel 10). The segment will be repeated at 10AM Sunday on channel 2.

A summary:
     Thousands of immigrant workers are being lured into New Orleans to help rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina. But are corporations shutting out the local workforce and boosting profits by hiring these workers with low pay, no benefits, and awful working conditions? On Friday, November 18, 2005 at 8:30 P.M. on PBS (check local listings) NOW Senior Correspondent Maria Hinojosa looks at who's benefiting from the reconstruction along the Gulf Coast, and how the Bush Administration's post - Katrina polices might have encouraged the exploitation of workers.
