Workers to March Against Toxic Trade
Tuesday, May 27, 2008

 

  Cleveland, OH – Members of the United Steelworkers (USW) and allied community organizations will march along downtown Cleveland streets on Wednesday, May 28 and stage a street theater performance with a 15-foot-tall “Toxic Trader” puppet.

 

It is the union’s latest effort to draw attention to “toxic” free trade agreements that threaten food and product safety and North American jobs.

 

“The McBush toxic trade policies are bringing us unsafe medicines, tainted toys and dangerous auto parts,” said USW member Beth Powell. “And these same policies have cost us more than 240,000 manufacturing jobs that have disappeared from Ohio since the year 2000.”
