The educational trip (Fall 2005) involved sending students from Professor Arriola’s seminar, Women, Law and the Global Economy down to Austin, Texas for a 3 day weekend experience. They met with working women who are actively fighting against exposure to toxicity in the workplace and for better terms and conditions of employment in a U.S. owned maquiladora, an example of the global factories operating under the NAFTA.
