Trumka: Lifting Restrictions on U.S. Investments in Burma ‘Premature’
The U.S. government’s decision to ease restrictions on U.S. investments in Burma is “premature and poorly thought through,” says AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Lifting investment sanctions on a nation where forced labor and other human rights violations continue may, says Trumka:
undermine progress toward political reforms in Burma, rather than encourage movement toward democracy.
