- Description
- Protest poster collected during the two-day meeting of the Washington, D.C. International Monetary Fund and World Bank in April 16-17, 2000. A wide coalition of anti-globalization movements that included labor organizations, protesting the promotion of free trade, and environmental activists arguing against the Bank’s development policies filled the streets where the meetings took place.
- One of the participant organizations was the United Auto Workers. Established during the 1930s when a wave of union organizing fueled the rise of several powerful industrial unions. The UAW quickly grew to be one of the largest and most influential labor organization in the country, gaining high wages and benefits for its members, actively working to shape the economic and political life of the country in the decades that followed.
