Global Day of Action to Stop "Fast Track"

The AFL-CIO organized more than 60 protest actions against "fast track" and the TPP in communities across the nation over last weekend.

For instance, in New York on Saturday, the Westchester Putnam Central Labor Body brought together a coalition of groups made up of community members, environmental activists, people of faith and labor unions, including CWA Local 1103, to oppose "fast track" for the TPP. Speakers included Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) and county-elected officials and groups like Food & Water Watch, Mount Vernon United Tenants and the Working Families Party.

The event was part of a Global Day of Action to stop "fast track" and defeat the TPP and investment treaties.

Here is a link to some of the actions that took place.
