A Teamsters court filing says the Bush administration broke yet another law in continuing to let long-haul Mexican trucks onto U.S. highways. Congress banned funding December 26th, but Bush is going forward anyway. Two days of debate and 20 pages of congressional record show Congress clearly intended to stop the program. The Teamsters believe this Mexican truck pilot program is dangerous because Mexican drivers aren’t held to the same safety standards as U.S. drivers. The Teamsters are challenging the legality of the Bush Mexican trucks program in federal court. A hearing is set for February 12th in the 9th Circuit.
