tpp2015

I'm joined by Leo Gerard, International President of the United Steelworkers Union (USW). We discuss how and why the TPP is great for corporations and a disaster for American manufacturing and American workers.
Here is Leo's HuffPost blog from this week on the matter - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/leo-w-gerard/tpp-foie-gras-for-corpora_b_8276914.html

Leslie is rejoined by good friend of the show, Scott N. Paul. Scott is President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.

Leslie and Scott discuss how as the TPP is advancing through Congress, Democrats are divided on the issue.
They also talk about a piece that Scott recently wrote where he explains that the TPP will not work without strong currency reform.

Both Leslie and Scott agree that, regardless of what you personally think of the TPP, 'Fast-Tracking' it so that it cannot be fully debated and amended is a horrible idea (especially since the deal has been created and negotiated in secret).

To keep updated on the TPP and other issues related to American Manufacturing, follow the AAM online.
