‘Roots News: Ohio Valley Politics inside closed-door union forum w/Clinton & Obama


[UPDATE: Follow this event on Cover It Live. If you missed it, you can go there still, and replay it.]

Way to go, David.

If you want to follow the event with David, check out his Flickr photos (look for 4/14/08 photos) of it (also viewable from the right sidebar of Ohio Valley Politics), and his Twitter widget with his OVP tweets.

Read more about the event here. Basically:

Pennsylvania has lost more than 207,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000, with more than 78,000 jobs moving to China alone since 2001. The event will focus on strengthening American manufacturing and addressing China’s unfair trade practices.

The forum will be attended by members of the United Steelworkers, SOAR (Steelworker retirees), and employees and executives of event partners United States Steel, ArcelorMittal, AK Steel, and Allegheny Technologies. It is not open to the general public.

 

The Alliance for American Manufacturing is a non-partisan, non-profit labor-management partnership forged to strengthen manufacturing in the U.S. AAM promotes creative policy solutions on priorities such as international trade, energy security, health care, retirement security, currency manipulation, and other issues of mutual concern.
