PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The head of the largest U.S. trade union federation said Monday that a bad deal is worse than no deal, and he urged Congress not to support fast-track legislation that would let President Barack Obama present Congress with proposed trade agreements that lawmakers can ratify or reject, but not amend.
That would make it easier for Obama to get congressional approval for a trade deal between a dozen Pacific Rim nations.
Trumka spoke Monday at a news conference about 10 miles from Nike Inc. headquarters in Oregon, the spot where Obama recently defended the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Fast Track to Oblivion..
Makes ya wonder why ya ever got out of bed and went to work.
Endorsed by Mitch and Obammy..
What’s wrong with that picture?
“Bipartisan usually means that a larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.” — George Carlin
The AFL/CIO always make a bunch of noise when these things come up, but that’s all it is..... Noise.
As soon as the checks clear, those trade agreements are as good as done!
.....And the decline of America as we know it will continue.
Trumka and I agree on something? Seriously?
(Pinches self)
Man, this can’t be true.
Strange bed-fellows indeed...
Think he’s looking to be the next contestant on “Let’s Make a Deal”?
Hmmm, could be.
a bad deal is worse than no deal,
Only when it comes to Suicide
It’s Obamatrade but also Obama Amnesty to all the 3rd world.
This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. Soros wrote a book on how to do this. So these “conservative” Senators are voting to give Obama power to rewrite all U.S. laws because treaties override U.S. laws. It's the destruction of the republic. Proof here :

Yep, hard to believe Trumka would throw another commie off the edge but he is...Amazing.
Amazing I am now agreeing with thug Union bosses over sorry-azz republicans.

So how do our Republican hopefuls stand on this “free” trade deal? Cruz, Paul, Walker etal
Yep, Trumka and the unions can make a lot of noise but in the end they’ll still keep funneling millions to the commie RATS.
Speaking as a former dues paying member of the AFL-CIO, now retired, my opinion on this is that Trumka was told to say something to calm the outraged union members. It’s spin nothing more. Crony capitalism still rules no matter which party is in power.
But but NAAFTA was so good for US!
I’m with Trumka!
