Sweatshops are expanding and governments are cutting back on social spending while corporate welfare goes untouched. But, people are fighting back. In El Salvador, sweatshop workers, the women's movement and the FMLN (Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front) have joined together to organize for change. Public sector workers have mobilized thousands of people into a growing movement against the selling off of public institutions. Ana Maria and Wilmer are seeking international support for their struggle during a 4- week speaking tour across the U.S. Come hear their story of how the U.S. government and corporations are building sweatshops, exploiting workers and busting unions in El Salvador.
