Zack Space Commits to Oppose Columbia Free Trade
by Don Blackwell on Apr.21, 2008, under General News
On Monday, April 21st, 2008, Zack Space met with Steelworkers and other Union members from around the county at the USW Hall in New Philadelphia to sign a pledge to oppose the Columbia Free Trade Agreement.
Before signing the pledge, Congressman Space acknowledged that it is inappropriate for our government to establish free trade with any country with such a lack for human rights as Columbia. It is well known that the Colombian government has frequently endorsed and supported the harassment, intimidation and even murder of union representatives and other labor rights advocates in that country for years.
