Tis the season for toys. Have you looked at how many toys are made outside of the United States? With concerns of lead and other toxic paints, plastics and chemicals used in these products, the Steel Workers Union has created a video to raise awareness. Beyond just the fact that many coutries don't regulate what is used to make these products and allow the manufacturer to use whatever they can get away with, there is also the issue surrounding our trade agreements and helping the workers in the United States in their fight against unfair trade laws that help corporations cheat americans out of good jobs.
Take a look at the video and decide for yourself if it is something to be concerned over. If you want to raise your ConcernedVoices you can go the the AFL-CIO's website WorkingFamiles and help them support changes to the laws.
