Building Bridges, National Edition

Love, Justice, Family & Equality
with
Emily Hecht-McGowan, Family Equality Council
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two potentially
landmark cases: the challenge to Proposition 8, which took away the
freedom to marry from same-sex couples in California, and the challenge
to Section 3 of the misnamed "Defense of Marriage Act" (DOMA), which
denies legally married same-sex couples over 1,000 rights, protections
and responsibilities under federal law simply because they are gay.
Never before has the court heard two significant gay rights cases
simultaneously. Emily Hecht-McGowan, Director of Public Policy for the
Family Equality Council joins us to look at these two cases which could
be a defining moment in the LGBT community's decades-long struggle
for equality under the law.

No Justice, No Pizza – Domino's Beware!
with
The Justice Will Be Served Campaign
Pizza workers and supporters rallied against their employer Domino’s
over years of unpaid wages and retaliation experienced when they stood
up for their rights. During the rally they celebrated their first of its
kind court ruling permitting them to sue Domino’s Pizza Corp. as
a joint employer along with the individual franchise holder, which would
also apply to other fast food workers in establishments like McDonald's
and retail workers at places like Walmarts. The right of the Latino, African
and Bangladeshi workers to proceed with the suit they filed in 2010 against
Domino's Pizza’s franchise owner David Melton and the Domino's Corp.
is a huge victory. The workers had commenced suit after receiving below
the minimum wage, were forced to make deliveries during extreme
weather conditions, and didn’t have a place to take a break or eat during
their excessively long work hours.
