Union and Farm Leaders Voice Opposition to U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement

On June 7, 2006, against the backdrop of the nation's capitol, prominent Korean leaders representing farmers, trade unions, and peasants addressed a packed balcony of press and congressional staffers, voicing their opposition to the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

Organized by the Oakland Institute and the Korea Policy Institute, who teamed up with Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) to organize this press conference, the briefing was well-attended by the press and generated media coverage in the Associated Press, Inter Press Service, Congressional Quarterly, and numerous Korean media outlets such as Korean Broadcasting Service (KBS), Seoul Broadcasting Service, and Chosun Daily News, among others.
