When the Sierra Club and Global Trade Watch reached out for rally support from people or groups that oppose Fast Track and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Steelworkers jumped in.
On August 22, District 4 Women of Steel Coordinator for United Steelworkers (USW) Tammie Botelho and Wanda McKiver a USW member from New Haven, Conn., joined other participants in Bridgeport, Conn., with a megaphone and a USW flag.
Botelho talked about the long-standing commitment of the Steelworkers to oppose Fast Track and the TPP and the impact bad free trade agreements have on our members.
District 4 Director John Shinn commended Bothelo and McKiver saying, “They did an outstanding job representing the Steelworkers on short notice.”
