The new Director of Texas Fair Trade Watch, Marc Jacobson, visited union leaders and other progressive organizations in North Texas during November 20. He has had extensive organizing experience, including a stint with the Dallas Area Interfaith -- an organization that knows a lot about organizing!
Jacobson
now offices in the Texas AFL-CIO building as a guest of the Austin Central Labor
Council. The Texas Fair Trade Watch has a long and cordial relationship with
the labor movement, which needs its input and information as American corporations
continue to push for secret investment laws (they call them "free trade
agreements," but they aren't free, they aren't trade, and, since they are
secret, they aren't really even "agreements.")
A better term would be "gobblelization."
