Calif. media organizations seek to keep day laborer records open
Three California news organizations are seeking to join a court fight over whether to keep public the

The
Union-Tribune, Los Angeles Times and the California Newspaper Publishers
Association want the names to continue to be released to preserve the public's
right to access government records.

the names public violates the privacy rights of the employers.
