[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 879324, member: 12952"] Court Strikes Down Ban on Soliciting Day Laborers [B]Court strikes down ban on soliciting day laborers[/B] [B]By PAUL ELIAS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO – [/B]A divided federal appeals court Friday struck down a Southern California city’s ban on day laborers who stand on public sidewalks soliciting work from motorists. In doing so, the workers’ lawyer said the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling against Redondo Beach most likely put an end to similar bans in other western cities, including about 50 in California. “It calls them all into very serious question,” said Thomas Saenz, a Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund lawyer who represented the workers. Saenz said Redondo Beach was ordered to suspend the law in 2004 until the workers’ lawsuit was resolved. “Each municipality with such an ordinance should immediately suspend and repeal its law,” Saenz said. Redondo Beach city attorney Michael Webb said he would consult with the City Council and mayor to decide whether to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the case. [COLOR=#0000CD]Someone should inform Saenz that every municipality will probably not listen to him. Each passed laws, be in on the same subject, is adjusted to fit the local conditions. Thus each passed laws he will personally have to fight to remove them, that should take about the rest of his lifespan plus more. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
