How the Trans-Pacific Partnership (a Supersized NAFTA) Will Impact You as a Worker and What You Can Do About It!

Tuesday, September 10 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Location: Room 404-B

This workshop will teach you about the impacts of U.S. trade policy and the likely effects of the TPP. It will show you how to make the most of your video, email and Internet resources to educate and mobilize your members and the general public on the TPP and the reasons workers globally need a new trade model. Employing electronic communications strategies can help build relationships across international borders—speeding and easing communication and cooperation in ways that weren’t possible during the NAFTA fight 20 years ago. Make your efforts  to build shared prosperity in the global economy more efficient and more effective with this workshop.
