Trade event criticized by Teamsters
The Associated Press
SEATTLE—The World Trade Organization, getting ready to stage the largest trade event ever in the United States, was attacked yesterday by the Teamsters union president for putting "corporate greed" ahead of human rights.
With much riding on the outcome of the talks, the Clinton administration defended its decision to invite trade ministers from around the world to the Pacific Northwest in hopes of launching a new round of global trade talks.
Commerce Secretary William Daley said the administration's embrace of the global marketplace and lower
trade barriers has contributed to booming U.S. exports and the country's longest peacetime economic expansion.
"This economy is strong ... and it will remain strong because of the sort of outward view we've had about trade, not an inward view," Daley said to Reform Party presidential hopeful P Buchanan in a joint appearance on NBC's Meet the Press.
Critics such as Teamsters head James P. Hoffa and Buchanan contend the WTO is sacrificing worker rights, environmental protection and human rights to please multinational corporations that want trade barriers erased.
Hoffa, whose union is among
the labor groups organizing protests in Seattle, said on Fox News Sunday that the demonstrators simply want a seat at the table to ensure the WTO stops putting "corporate greed, corporate profits, above human rights."
Buchanan denounced the administration for agreeing to support China's entry into the WTO in return for reduced Chinese trade barriers. U.S. farmers and manufacturers long have complained that those barriers are costing them billions of dollars in lost sales each year.
sales each year.
"This was a complete and total giveaway," Buchanan said. "We got nothing in the way of human rights improvement, nothing in the way of a build-down of the missiles aimed at Taiwan, nothing in the way of reduced belligerence for this country."
for the four days of formal WTO discussions will be aimed at starting what some are calling the Millennium Round of trade negotiations, a follow-up to the Uruguay Round of trade talks completed in 1993.
The formal discussions will not get under way until tomorrow. But already thousands of officials from the 135 WTO member countries, and 30 more observer nations were filling the hotel rooms and holding informal meetings in an effort to win converts for their negotiating positions.
Submarine locates, photographs sunken passenger ferry wreckage
The Associated Press
OSLO, Norway— A remote-controlled submarine more than 300 feet below the North Sea on Sunday located and photographed the wreckage of the passenger ferry that ran aground and sank off Norway's coast, killing at least 19 people.
The brand-new catamaran Sleipner run aground Friday evening on its way from Stavanger to Bergen along Norway's west coast and sank about 45 minutes later. All 89 people aboard ended up in the icy waters of the
North Sea.
Rescuers gave up hope of finding more survivors Saturday evening, after nearly 24 hours of searching. They said no one could have survived so long in the cold waters and waves that reached heights of 20 feet.
Teacher heigned
Ole Arne Linge of the
Hordaland Police District
said seven ships were
searching the ocean, and 300
volunteers were combing the coastline for bodies on
Sunday. The ship went down in one of the toughest areas of Norway's weather-beaten coast.
Panicked survivors had to fight for their lives when they were plunged into icy waters. Many complained of a lack of instructions and assistance from the ship's nine-member crew.
"It was unreal. I didn't think the boat would sink," 37-year-old Soelví Litteskare of Stavanger was quoted as telling the Norwegian news agency NTB. "We were literally dragged down with the boat."
The accident will be investigated by both a maritime inquiry and a special commission.
