Monday the United States reached agreement with eleven partner countries concluding negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership; there’s organized opposition to the TPP from environmental and labor activists, including a field director for the Central Labor CouncilAaron Carmella, who was a guest on WMNF’s MidPoint Monday.

We talked about why labor opposes this trade agreement that a fact sheet from the White House calls “the largest expansion of fully-enforceable labor rights in history.”
