In President Obama’s State of the Union address he requested Congress to approve “Fast Track” legislation for the approval of the Transpacific Partnership (TPP). The President believes the TPP will grow our economy. We know that big corporations take unfair advantage of deals by sending high paying jobs overseas and unjustly benefit from extremely low wages and weak environmental rules. Often vulnerable people are exploited in sweatshop factories.The TPP has been negotiated in secret and has not been released to the public.
The world cannot afford for Congress to Fast Track a “NAFTA of the Pacific” that moves jobs offshores, drives down wages in the jobs that are left and reduces revenues.
Please urge your U.S. Representative to oppose Fast Track for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
