condiciones pésimas de trabajo en los campos de tomate de
Florida. Unéte a la caravana del Area de la Bahía a la
Convergencia Nacional del 28 de Febrero en la Sede de Taco
Bell.

Libre Comercio de las Americas) del Area de la Bahía y la OMC
(Organización Mundial del Comercio). La Cumbre de la OMC se
realizará en Cancún, México, en Septiembre y la Cumbre del
ALCA tomará lugar en Miami, Florida en Octubre o Noviembre.
. PROTESTAREMOS CONTRA ALCAC; La Cumbre de los
Ministros de Comercio del ALCAC se reunirá en Cincinnati para

trabajadores y su dignidad, crean más pobreza y maquiladoras
y obtienen mayores ganancias para las corporaciones como
Taco Bell.
. Las guerras por el petroleo son la sangre y la vida de la
globalización corporativa.
