"HAVE YOU HEARD
THE ONE ABOUT THE
STEELWORKER
AND THE
ENVIRONMENTALIST?"
Hot off the presses....
Pepsi rejects scab aluminum!
On May 19, 1999, environmental and labor leaders confronted
CEO Charles Hurwitz in Houston to demand that his Maxxam
Corporation, which owns Kaiser Aluminum and Pacific Lumber
Company, be held accountable for its impact on working
people, communities and the environment.
By clear-cutting ancient redwoods in Northern California,
and by locking-out striking steelworkers in five cities, the
Maxxam corporation has become an icon of corporate
irresponsibility.
Recognizing that we have a common interest in making
corporations more accountable for their behavior world-wide,
environmental and labor leaders have formed the Alliance for
Sustainable Jobs and the Environment and circulated the
following statement, dubbed "The Houston Principles".

committed citizens can change the world,
