[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 5958414, member: 60485"] I’m honestly beginning to understand more who you really are. You care vary little for labor. Corporations and globalism is your main concern. “Beginning with NAFTA, trade agreements have incorporated rules and restrictions designed to limit the way citizens can organize their economies. These sweeping trade rules have received only superficial debate under Fast Track. As a result, NAFTA and other similar trade deals have fueled the U.S. trade deficit, contributed to outsourcing and job loss, fostered income inequality, and suppressed wages while weakening the U.S. economy and our security. NAFTA’s rules have not benefitted working people. It is an inescapable fact that millions of workers across economic sectors regard NAFTA as a failure. They have been left behind and have not shared in the gains from globalization. Across the country, workers and communities have lost confidence in the way the United States manages globalization. By design, the original NAFTA distorted power relationships in favor of global employers over workers, weakening worker bargaining power and encouraging de-industrialization of our economy. Thus, we welcome renegotiation. Unfortunately, we have been presented with an unfinished text to review. In some places, text is still in draft form, in other places, important terms remain bracketed (unresolved) and in some cases, including with respect to the government procurement schedules, there is no text to review.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://aflcio.org/reports/report-impacts-renegotiated-north-american-free-trade-agreement[/URL] [/QUOTE]
