Minnesota to have large presence at FTAA mobilization in Miami By Barb Kucera, editor, workdayminnesota.org
The group from the Gopher State will include scores of manufacturing workers who have seen their jobs wiped out by bad trade deals such as NAFTA, but also public sector, construction and postal employees who are concerned about the effects of proposed trade agreements such as the FTAA. They come from all areas of Minnesota.
“They are members of unions that always opposed the free trade agenda, but they did it out of a sense of solidarity with their manufacturing brothers and sisters whom they saw getting slammed,” said Larry Weiss, coordinator of the Minnesota Fair Trade Coalition. “All of a sudden, their jobs are on the line with the new generation of trade deals.”------------------------------------------- posted 6:33 AM :: reference link ::
