Forum on Korea-US Trade Agreement Monday

With the biggest trade agreement since NAFTA looming, labor and fair trade activists from the US and Korea will meet Monday, June 11, for a forum on the proposed US-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS-FTA). "In both countries, serious concerns have been raised about the potential impact of the agreement on working families," says Jeff Vogt, AFL-CIO Global Economic Policy Specialist.  This forum provides a chance to "learn about the agreement and the reasons why so many people in the US and Korea oppose it," Vogt says. Lobby actions will also be held on June 12-13 to ask members of congress to reject the FTA.  For more info, contact Vogt at 202-637-3904 or jvogt@aflcio.org.
