Our capital bureau reporter Mike Hasten, is at a Louisiana Workforce Commission hearing today listening to testimony from the American Federation of Teachers and Universal Placement International, the company that brought Filipino teachers to Louisiana.
UPI, owned by Lulu Navarro, brought more than 300 teachers to Louisiana, 43 ended up in Caddo.
This hearing is the result of a complaint filed by the state teacher's union. The union alleges that the teachers were charged exorbitant amount of money for visas and paperwork to obtain jobs in Louisiana.
Here is a timeline that explains the entire story.
