Labor to Rally on the Hill Against TPP Trade Agreement

Unfair Trade Agreements
IAM members rally in 2011 against unfair trade agreements.

The IAM will join union activists and the AFL-CIO in a rally on Capitol Hill to voice our members’ opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Free Trade Agreement.

The rally is scheduled for May 7, 2014 at 1:30 pm in the Upper Senate Park behind the Capitol building.

Like the deeply-flawed North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), TPP promises job growth – but will instead export thousands of U.S. jobs to low-wage countries. The trade agreement, currently being negotiated in secrecy, also threatens key labor, health, safety and environmental standards.
