Feingold Opposes TPP
"Russ Feingold, who is running for U.S. Senate, met with members of the Wisconsin AFL-CIO Executive Board to talk about trade, raising wages, and other issues important to helping working people in today’s economy.
Feingold is challenging Senator Ron Johnson, one of the most extreme Senators in Congress. The match-up will be on the ballot in November 2016.
Labor leaders expressed concern over the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The TPP has been negotiated in secret for years. The full text of the deal was recently released and is even worse than previously anticipated. Environmentalist, labor and human rights activists are deeply concerned that the deal will harm jobs, our planet and people. By creating a global race to the bottom, companies have not only the incentive but the power to pollute and pay people poverty wages.
Russ Feingold has continuously fought against unfair trade deals that ship our jobs overseas and would have voted against the TPP. Feingold expressed his opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, explaining the deal would ship good jobs overseas at a time when we should be protecting American jobs."
