(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

"Wake up and smell the coffee (and) help re-elect the two most important O’s this year and in two years, the first being O’Malley and the second being Obama," reports Washington Building and Construction Trades Council Executive Secretary-Treasurer Vance Ayres in the August edition of The Trades newsletter. Ayres also challenges readers "to buy products made in the U.S.A. as much as you can even if it is does cost a little more to help keep jobs in the U.S.A." The newsletter also includes reports from Rodmen Local 201 and Plumbers Local 5.
