Communication Workers of America (CWA) Communications Director Candice Johnson said that the TPP deal will still give corporations extra authority in enforcing their business rights.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement will result in further loss of US jobs to other countries, Communication Workers of America (CWA) Communications Director Candice Johnson told Sputnik on Monday.
“It would simply continue the offshoring of jobs and weakening of our communities that started under the North American Free Trade Agreement and hasn’t stopped,” Johnson said.
On Monday, 12 Pacific Rim countries, including the United States, reached a consensus on the wording and subject matter of the TPP free trade agreement.
“When it comes to jobs, working families and our communities, there is no question that this TPP is bad news, despite the broad promises from the Obama administration and US Trade Representative Michael Froman that the deal would deliver for middle-class families,” Johnson noted.
