Union Leadership vs. TPA

Does union leadership fairly represent the interests of American workers by opposing Trade Promotion Authority? 
No. In fact, private sector union membership generally supports of pro-trade policy....

  • 66 percent of private sector union members approve of President Obama's handling of issues related to global trade. This is higher than their 57 percent job approval rating overall.

  • 67 percent of private sector union members believe open markets increase global value chains and lead to better paying American jobs.  

  • 69 percent of private sector union members agree that global trade agreements are generally good for American farmers, workers and job creators

Let union leadership know that trade promotes growth for America's economy and added jobs in industries that rely on our nation's imports and exports.
