minimum wages or less. Two
minimum wages is about 25,000
pesos aday. That amounts toabout
58 a day, or $1 an hour. That, Cas-
tefteda said, is "what cheap labor
means.
"Thafs what Mexico is bringing
to the party. To the North Ameri¬
can free-trade party Mexico's
coining in with its cheap labor."
In order to make the free-trade
agreement more conducive to the
needs of Mexico, he offered some
suggestions for changes. The first
of those changes is whatCastefieda
called "compensatory financing."
This requires the transfer of fi¬
nances from richer to poorer econo¬
mies to help pay for thenewagree-
ment since it will require compa¬
nies to build new plants, buy new
equipment and the like in order to
fulfill the requirementsof theagree-
ment
Second, Casteneda said there
must be a stipulation in the agree¬
ment dealing with the immigra¬
tion of Mexican workers to the US.
It makes no sense to negotiate a
free-trade agreementand lea veout
workers," he said.
Castefteda said that other char¬
ters, such as one outlawing child
labor in Mexico, and an environ¬
mental charter should be added
"As I'm sure you know here in
California, a lot of the VS. compa¬
nies are going to Mexico to get
around environmental restrictions
that have been built up and devel¬
oped in the United States ... and
now Amercian corporations want
to get around them and turn my
country into a toxic waste dump.
There's no reason for that lo hap¬
pen."
Ultimately, Casteneda said that
the U.S. should consider the au¬
thoritarian nature of the Mexican
government before entering into
the agreement.
"The last thing the United States
government should do is to be¬
come a supporter of the last au¬
thoritarian political system surviv¬
ing practically on the Latin Ameri¬
can mainland."

sity Lecture Series, was sponsored
