“Haven’t we learned anything from NAFTA? The Trans-Pacific Partnership is NAFTA on steroids. It would allow giant global corporations to override American health, safety, labor, and environmental regulations; ship more American jobs abroad; and push American wages downward. Tell your congressional representatives it’s a bad deal for Americans.”
– Robert Reich
The TPP would give multi-national corporations more power by putting corporate profits over human rights, equal rights, and worker rights. You wouldn’t ratify a contract without seeing the contract language and Congress shouldn’t approve trade deals without reading the details either.
Some things should be fast – trade agreement legislation shouldn’t be one of them. Tell Congress No to Fast Track for the TPP!
