Reply #55: ***The Teamsters and AFL-CIO and their leaders OPPOSE proposed free trade agreements*** [View All]

[Union Scribe]

To be absolutely clear and make sure that no one can twist the positions of these two unions, here is what they have to say specifically about FTAs now being considered. Not any other part of Obama's jobs plan, JUST THE FTAs:

These are the current positions of these unions, posted right now on their official websites.

Whatever else they have to say about the OTHER things Obama proposes, don't let anyone tell you that labor leaders support destructive free trade because THEY DO NOT.

Goodnight and Solidarity. Keep your guard up, working America.
