BANGOR, ME - With the loss of US manufacturing jobs and trade issues taking center stage in the presidential candidate debate, anti-sweatshop activists across the country are pushing through a wave of historic reforms aimed at using tax dollars to promote fair trade and anti-sweatshop alternatives. Albany, NY will host many of the sweatfree movement?5s leaders when an array of anti-sweatshop activists arrive here this Friday for the first national "SweatFree Communities Conference," May 14-16. Former California State Senator Tom Hayden, co-director of the "No More Sweatshops" movement, is featured speaker on Saturday.
