Are Labor Communication and Democratic Rights Threatened?

The Seattle round of the World Trade Organization's ministerial meetings comes at a time of rapid globalization and consolidation in the global telecommunications industry. How is labor working to make sure that the voice of working people is heard in an era of escalating media mergers and growing monopolization among TV, radio, cable, cellular, and Internet corporations? Is the WTO's agenda of unfettered "free trade" a threat to labor communication and democracy? Please join a panel of labor and media activists for a community discussion of these issues.

WHAT: Educational Forum and Discussion
WHEN: Monday, November 29, 1999, 7:30pm
WHERE: King County Labor Council, 2800 First Ave., Room 6 (downtown Seattle, at the corner of First and Broad)
