[CTC] WTO Rules for China on poultry case

[Tim Robertson]

  Ninguno Mas!

In 2010, USLEAP is partnering with the Colombian labor central, /Central 
Unitaria de Trabajadores/ (CUT), on a national project */Ninguno Mas!/ * 
<http://usleap.org/usleap-campaigns/colombia-murder-and-impunity/recent-violence-against-trade-unionists/ninguno-mas>[No 
More] that documents the life and killing of Colombian trade unionists.  
The objective of this project is to continue to raise awareness not only 
with numbers and stats, but through the use of biographies and 
photographs that tell the stories of the level of violence that 
Colombian trade unionists continue to face each day.

More than 2,700 trade unionists have been assassinated in Colombia in 
the last two decades, an average of one murder every three days.  We 
hope these stories will remind all of us in the US why we cannot allow a 
free trade agreement between the US and Colombia if Colombian union 
families continue to fall victim to murder as well as other forms of 
violence, including disappearances, kidnappings, torture, and threats at 
alarming rates.

*What You Can Do

**/Ninguno Mas!/* is an attempt to further engage labor and human rights 
activists in the US by calling them to action on a particular case.  
USLEAP will gather information and profile specific Colombian trade 
unionists on our website.  Local or regional labor unions, student 
groups, congregations, and organizations can adopt the case of one of 
our fallen Colombian brothers or sisters.  Each group involved will be 
asked to contact (write, email, fax, etc) their members of Congress, the 
Colombian government, and other groups about the trade unionist 
assassination case they are given to ensure justice is given to the 
victims' families, demanding that the case be fully investigated and the 
material and intellectual authors captured and convicted so impunity is 
put to an end in Colombia.
