Free Versus Fair Trade, a Two Hour Special

Local, national, and international guests share the perspective of working people, as three more free trade agreements head to Congress:

  • Korea, the biggest volume deal since NAFTA
  • Colombia, where more unionists are killed than in the rest of the world combined and whose number of displaced persons is rivaled only by Sudan, and
  • Panama, the country with financial regulation so lax an intern could set up a fake corporation in minutes, over the phone.

Hear the voices of need before greed and support Portland’s Community Radio Station, KBOO, during Spring Membership Drive.

Co-hosted by Bill Zimmerman and John Walsh.
