CLEVELAND, May 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Members of the United

It is the union's latest effort to draw attention to "toxic" free trade
agreements that threaten food and product safety and North American jobs.
"The McBush toxic trade policies are bringing us unsafe medicines, tainted
toys and dangerous auto parts," said USW member Beth Powell. "And these same
policies have cost us more than 240,000 manufacturing jobs that have
disappeared from Ohio since the year 2000."
