SUPPORT the TRADE ACT Today! The TRADE Act has received near unanimous support from labor unions as well as environmental and family farm organizations, including AFL-CIO, Change to Win, the Sierra Club, and the National Family Farmer's Union. The bill has received far reaching support in Congress with 135 representatives co-sponsoring the TRADE Act. However none are from Washington State. 2010 is the time to get Washington State Representatives in Congress who are working on healthcare reform, climate legislation and international development to make the link between those issues and trade. Hard fought policies can be challenged as barriers to trade and then the best legislation is again at the feet of corporate interests. The WFTC has invited and encouraged Rep Jim McDermott and Rep Jay Inslee to co-sponsor the TRADE Act HR 3210. In 2010, we need to be clear about the consequences for not supporting the TRADE Act. We need everyone to be involved in the TRADE Act Campaign in 2010. Start the year off by making a call and telling your Representative to support the TRADE Act because it is good for WA State workers and workers everywhere and protects our limited natural resources from exploitation.
