The following is from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters web site.

"On August 10, Joint Council 25 and its local unions partnered with more than nine area labor unions to rally peacefully in front of the Eighth Congressional District Office. The rally was in protest to U.S. Rep. Melissa Bean’s vote in favor of the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA)."
