A Last-Minute TPP Protest

CWA activists found out last Thursday that U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew would be at the Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus on Friday to talk to the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce about "fast track" and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

They pulled together a last-minute rally with allies and met Lew with signs protesting the dangers of the TPP to good jobs in the Greater Miami area.

Joining them, in dark shirts, were supporters from Local 487 of the International Union of Operating Engineers; CWA Local 3122 President Don Abicht (center, in red); students from Miami Dade Community College; Deborah Dion of the Citizens Trade Campaign; and CWA District 3 Fred Frost (also in red shirt, far left), being interviewed by USA Today reporter Alan Gomez. CWA Florida LPAT coordinator Glenda Abicht took the photograph.
