Some of the highlights include:

Alliance Fights ASARCO Pollution in Arizona Environmentalists are supporting striking workers at one the biggest polluters in Arizona -- the ASARCO copper smelter in Hayden. That's right. We ain't lying. Take a look here.
CAFTA: Labor Pains and Environmental Flaws If it walks like NAFTA, and if it talks like NAFTA, it must be … CAFTA. Read here what the Sierra Club and the United Steelworkers think about this deal. And take a gander here of how the US Chamber of Commerce is bankrolling a speaking tour that is hyping CAFTA with the same bogus claims used to pass NAFTA.
