Steelworker and Sierra Club Leaders to Hold Town Hall Forum in Washington


As part of their Northwest tour, Dave Foster, Director of District 11 of USW, and Sierra Club President Larry Fahn, will hold a town hall forum in Fife, Washington (between Seattle and Tacoma) to discuss the next big priority of the Bush administration – trade agreements.

WHAT: Town Hall Forum

WHEN: Tuesday, May 3rd, 7:30pm

WHERE: Fife Community Center

2111 – 54th Avenue East

WHO: Dave Foster, Director of District 11 of USW, and Sierra Club President Larry Fahn

What brings them to the Northwest? The next NAFTA-like trade deal, or CAFTA, the Central America Trade Agreement. This top priority for the Bush administration threatens to greatly expand the damage already done by NAFTA: undermining environmental regulations and sending more jobs overseas. Key members of Congress need our help to stand up to enormous pressure from corporate interests looking to profit from unfair trade agreements.
