    Some Los Angeles city unions may cut their hours and make other concessions to save jobs.  Will that mean a reduction in services?  Will the Police Protective League go along? Plus, another look at two of the nation's most endangered rivers.

    Facing a massive deficit, Mayor Villaraigosa has called on his base of support, organized labor, to “share sacrifices.” We hear what he means and ask union leaders if they'll go along. Will there be cuts in services? Plus, another look at two of the nation's most endangered rivers, the Sacramento and San Joaquin. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, in Latin America and Washington there's pressure to change US policy toward “Communist Cuba.” How far is President Obama willing to go? Will he insist that Cuba change its repressive ways?
