American Workers Deserve an Equitable Trade Deal

I support President Obama and share his vision for enhanced economic growth and greater access to global markets, but I categorically disagree with my Republican colleagues regarding how we can achieve such goals. We must find a better way to support American jobs and secure our collective financial future without compromising our country's critical labor, safety, and environmental standards.

Washington, D.C. – In response to today’s actions in the House moving towards passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-04) released the following statement:
 
“I support President Obama and share his vision for enhanced economic growth and greater access to global markets, but I categorically disagree with my Republican colleagues regarding how we can achieve such goals. We must find a better way to support American jobs and secure our collective financial future without compromising our country’s critical labor, safety, and environmental standards.
 
“American workers deserve an equitable deal. Growing our nation’s exports is important, but we cannot afford to do so at the expense of our working and middle class families.”
