No developments lately on "fast track," although trade negotiators continue to meet and try to push the deal forward.

CWA Local 1103 and Westchester, N.Y., grassroots community groups organized a terrific "People's Town Hall: Why You Should Care about TPP" meeting. The goal was to put a human face on what TPP really means, and was a big success, said 1103 Secretary-Treasurer Joe Mayhew.

On May 7 at 1:30 p.m., thousands of activists will rally at Upper Senate Park on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol. We're saying no to "fast track" legislation that would speed the Trans-Pacific Partnership through Congress with little debate and zero opportunities for amendments.

More than 700 CWA and other retiree activists took a stand for retiree health care benefits at a demonstration outside AT&T headquarters in Dallas.
