AFL-CIO TELL CONGRESS TO STOP FAST TRACK E petition


http://act.aflcio.org/c/18/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=9360

Any trade deal is going to have a huge impact on America's workers. And we want to make sure that future trade deals protect U.S. jobs, don't give multinational corporations unfair advantages, don't harm the environment and don't turn a blind eye to countries that abuse workers. But Fast Track legislation allows power brokers to shape trade deals to their advantage and shields the details from the public and policy experts alike. Fast Track legislation is undemocratic and trade deals should not be crafted behind closed doors.

Petition at link.

Signed it. I hope a million others do too. This isn't a right/left issue, this is corporate sovereignty over personal rights, wages, environment, this is our country's future.

Thanks for posting OS!!
