Millions of Americans would not have turned so fiercely against so-called "free trade" if those who negotiated the agreements made certain it was indeed "fair" plus free trade. The "side rules" that John Kerry helped negotiate are worth nothing and the U.S. government never tries to enforce the rules when they're broken by China or other countries. Multi-national corps have huge gains from the current trade agreements but workers rights are completely ignored. If we close our eyes & pretend there are no automobiles & TVs, we can visualize & understand how workers felt in the 19thC....like pawns in greedy capital's chess game.
Thankfully, this is not the 19thC and workers have started to flex the muscle of their vote. Our sincere thanks to messrs Washington, Jefferson & Franklin.
