Say No to Wage Suppression
In a letter to House and Senate leadership, the Trade Benefits America Coalition, a group of many of the nation's largest companies and their lobbying trade associations are pushing for bipartisan passage of updated Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), also known as “Fast Track,” before year’s end.
The group includes the usual suspects of corporations that dodge paying their fair share of taxes and use their tax savings to fund dark money campaign expenditures through their trade association, which include:
National Foreign Trade Council
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Business Roundtable
U.S. Council for International Business
American Farm Bureau Federation
Emergency Committee for American Trade
Coalition of Services Industries
National Association of Manufacturers
Previous similar bipartisan legislation that continues to haunt America’s middle-class includes NAFTA and subsequent Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), the repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act and the Commodity Futures Modernization Act. All were supported by Crony Capitalists and their lobbying trade associations.

Thank you in advance for your support.
