DESCRIPTION:Tri-National Action To Cancel NAFTA! Support San Quintin Driscoll’s 
 Workers\nAnd Build Workers Solidarity and Links\n\nAugust 16 (Wednesday) 
 2017 4:00 PM\nSan Francisco US Federal Building 90 7th St. @ Mission St., 
 SF \n\nOn July 16, 2017, President Trump will start the re-negotiation of 
 the anti-labor union busting NAFTA agreement. He has already announced that 
 he wants to make it more like TPP which would in- crease profits for US 
 multinationals, increase worker exploitation and destroy environmental 
 conditions. Today 70,000 farmers and their families in San Quintin, Baja 
 who work for Driscoll’s berries are living in slave like conditions and 
 they continue to fight for union recognition.\n\nThe passage of NAFTA for 
 Mexican working people is a disaster and has led to privatized lands, oil, 
 rail-roads, education and now social security. There are also 1500 
 maquiladora slave factories on the border in Mexico that fire and repress 
 independent union organizers that are not controlled by the 
 government.\n\nNAFTA has also allowed the US to militarize Mexico with the 
 Merida agreement with massive re- pression and the disappearance of 46 
 students and many journalists who have be assassinated.\n\nNAFTA has also 
 been used to outsource millions of industrial jobs in the mid-west leading 
 to the rust bowl and it has been used as a threat intimidate workers from 
 demanding wage increases. The only solution is united action by US, Mexican 
 and Canadian workers to link up and fight together against the union 
 busters and multi-nationals that benefit from racism, xenophobia and 
 nationalism. Trump blames Mexicans but it is US corporations and 
 multi-nationals that pushed NAFTA with the support of former President 
 Clinton and other corporate controlled politicians.\n\nJoin this 
 tri-national worker and community action to cancel NAFTA NOW and support 
 the Driscoll’s Workers Boycott.\n\nEndorsed by: LCLAA Sacramento, United 
 Public Workers For Action, National Democratic Independent Union of 
 Agricultural Workers (SINDJA) of Mexico, Alianza Nacional Estatal y 
 Municipal por la Justicia Social, UAW 551, SMART UTU 1741,  National
