Sweeney, President AFL-CIO Date: February 24, 2000 Re: Briefing on AFL-CIO Campaign for Global Fairness and New Hart Research Survey on Voters' Attitudes Toward Trade When working families and our unions, people of faith, environmentalists, students and human rights activists came together at the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle to speak out against a global economic system which has widened rather than closed the income gap and poisoned our environment, we made history. Together, we have shifted the debate about globalization from a top-level, back room debate to a wide-open, national conversation about how to make the global economy work for everyone. At our Executive Council meeting in New Orleans last week, the AFL-CIO launched a major new multi-year campaign for global fairness to build on the energy of Seattle. The campaign includes four tracks: broad-based education, fighting for workers' rights in the international economy, building global solidarity with working families in developing nations, and holding multinational corporations accountable. I would like to invite you to attend a briefing on our campaign and the results of a new national survey by Peter Hart Research of registered voters' attitudes toward granting China permanent normal trade relations - a fight that is in the forefront of our broader campaign. We'd like to share our plans with you and hear your thoughts. The briefing will be held on Thursday, March 2 from 1-2:30 p.m. at the AFL-CIO, 815 16th Street, NW. Please call Alina Smith at 202/637-5005 to RSVP. We look forward to seeing you next Thursday. ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to the global economy network listserver as: ellen.reich@iue.org The global economy network is a project of the Campaign for America's Future.
