Notes from this week's "war on terrorism" -- prepared
for the AWARE meeting, Sunday, August 31, 2003.
[AWARE -- Anti-War Anti-Racism Effort -- is a group of people from C-U and environs who are opposed to the policies of the US government -- neo-imperialism and favoritism of the rich. We hold open meetings every Sunday 5-7pm at the IMC (218 W. Main St., Urbana) to discuss the situation and plan a variety of responses. The selection and the comments below, however, represent my views and not necessarily those of AWARE as a whole or of particular members. --CGE] |

This article in The Washington Post on Labor Day is actually on point. Written by the President of UNITE which represents textile workers across the country, it drives home what manufacturing was in NC. Where here in the Midwest you have GM, Ford, and Caterpillar towns, in the south, it's hog processing or textiles. And with textiles disappearing to Mexico more and more people are without employment opportunity. |
