CWA Activist Writes to Newspaper, Urges Rejection of "Fast Track," TPP

CWA Local 4034 Activist Shelly Lubbinge went to the heart of the matter in a Letter to the Editor on Sunday, April 12 urging Congress to say "No" to "fast track" and the proposed TPP trade deal.

"Congress is set to vote on a massive outsourcing trade bill, called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), very soon which includes Fast-Track authority," said Lubbinge of Chippewa Lake, MI, who is working on getting Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI 3rd District) to vote against the bill. "Fast-Track is a power move by multinational corporations that gives little or no oversight to Congress. It essentially ties the hands of Congress from making sure those deals work for all of us."
