DESCRIPTION:International Conference Against Privatization\nThe effort to destroy 
 unions and working conditions is directly connected to privatization and 
 deregulation. In nearly every country of the world, public workers are 
 under attack through outsourcing and deregulation. This educational 
 conference will look at privatization in Latin America, Europe, and Asia.\n 
 Another key part of international policy that is being pushed through the 
 US-controlled IMF and World Bank are trade agreements such as NAFTA, CAFTA, 
 and the TPP. This conference will look at the history of so-called “Free 
 Trade” agreements and how this has lowered working conditions and also 
 brought about the destruction of health and safety conditions and the 
 privatization of healthcare, housing, education, and all public services.\n 
 Another focus of this conference will be the relationship of privatization 
 to corruption on a global level. The crisis in Brazil and other countries 
 are examples of how privatization has led to a growing corruption crisis.\n 
 Speakers from around the world will connect the dots and explain how unions 
 have organized locally, nationally and internationally to defend working 
 people.\n Endorsed by Transport Workers Solidarity committee, United Public 
 Workers For Action (http://www.upwa.info/) \nSee
