DESCRIPTION:Fifty years ago on September 11, 1973, a coup overthrew the Allende 
 government and set up a rightwing military regime led by Pinochet. It was 
 supported by Nixon, Kissinger and the leadership of the AFL-CIO. The US 
 funded and organized coup brought about the deaths of tens of thousands of 
 unionists and their families and privatized and destroyed social security, 
 public education and worker rights.\n\nMilton Friedman and the “Chicago 
 Boys” operated for the multi-nationals and did to Chile what they are now 
 doing to the US. This history is still hidden from US unionists and the 
 working class. There was solidarity with the Chilean people and workers and 
 ILWU long- shoremen in the Bay Area took solidarity action by refusing to 
 ship arms to Chile.\n\nWe will look at the history with people who have 
 direct experience and the fight in the labor movement today to open the 
 books of the AFL-CIO, compensate the families of trade unionists killed, 
 and end the $75 million the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center receives from the US 
 funded National Endowment For Democracy. The US supported regime continues 
 to repress, terrorize and murder the workers and people of 
 Chile.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nFelipe Tamayo Flores is the National Director of the 
 National Association of University Technical Employees of FONASA. (ANPTUF)
