Talking Union | A forum for discussing labor issues sponsored by the DSA Labor Network:


 "Fixing any one problem with fast track at this late date is not the solution. As important as workers’ rights, environmental standards, consumer issues, job loss or currency manipulation might be, fast track authorization should be rejected, not tinkered with. None of us who focus on those issues had any input into this fast track legislation and this in itself is as serious as the glaring deficiencies.
If the Baucus-Camp fast track authorization proposal passes, Congress will have given away its Constitutional right to amend without ever having read and vetted all potential ramifications of the final trade bill."


...ero.
