Opposition to Fast Track for TPP at a Boil as Congress Recess; Sen. Alexander Continues His War on Workers with Hearing on New NLRB Union Election Rule; Corporate Profits vs. LGBTQ Equality; Cohen Proposes a Citizens Tribunal to Settle Trade Disputes; New Alliance Takes on Corporate Push to Privatize the Post Office; Bargaining Update; Missouri "Right-to-Work" Laws Target Public Workers; and more.

As Members of Congress return home for recess, they will be confronted with rallies and town hall meetings where constituents, CWAers and partners, have one message for them: Vote No on Fast Authority for trade deals.

The attempt by the NLRB to make union representation elections more efficient and more consistent throughout the country has come up against fierce opposition from employer trade groups, including the granddaddy of them all, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The United States is currently negotiating a trade deal with countries "where LGBTQ people have no rights," CWA President Cohen said. "We will stand up for LGBTQ rights!"

CWA President Cohen warns the nation to be vigilant, to fight back and to write to their Members of Congress to tell them to vote No on Fast Track for the TPP.
