Local Dems protest McCain trade policies
As Republican presidential candidate John McCain wraps up a trip to Colombia and Mexico, labor leaders and Democrats in Dayton and two other Ohio cities plan press conferences on Thursday, July 3, to protest McCain’s support for NAFTA and other trade agreements.
The Dayton “Gone to Mexico” - as in jobs gone to Mexico - event is set for 11 a.m. at the main entrance off the former Delphi brake plant, located off of Wagner Ford Road, a press release said.
Those scheduled to attend include: local AFL-CIO leader Wes Wells; state Rep. Fred Strahorn of Dayton, Dayton City Commissioner Nan Whaley and Jane Mitakides, Democratic candidate for the U.S. House in the Third District.
The other events are set for Lima and Niles, near Youngstown.
The events will emphasize “pain and suffering” caused by loss of jobs as a result of NAFTA and other trade policies.
