The threat of another US invasion of Venezuela is on the agenda under the fascist Trump government and this panel looks at that as well as the history of the AFL-CIO and US labor in supporting US imperialist interests in controlling the country’s wealth for US profits. The panel was hosted by Alex Wise and was sponsored by the Labor Education Project On AFL-CIO operations. Panel members included: Steve Ellner, historian and Professor Emeritus Universidad Oriente, Puerto La Cruz; James Jordan, Alliance For Global Justice; and Ricardo Ortiz, labor researcher and Puerto Rican internationalist.
