Fight Continues After House Passes Bad Trade Deal for Workers

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka issued the following statement after passage of Trade Promotion Authority in the House:

“We are at the end of the second quarter and the score is tied 1-1.  We look forward to the third and fourth quarters.

Workers’ resolve is firmer than ever.  We will fight at every level and in every way to protect American workers and our economy by rejecting Fast Track and this corporate trade deal.”
