The AFL-CIO endorsed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement earlier this week, calling it "a vast improvement over both the original NAFTA and the flawed proposal brought forward in 2017. President Trump may have opened this deal," said Labor Federation President Richard Trumka, "But working people closed it. "Trumka said the new trade deal "is far from perfect," noting that by itself, it's not a solution for outsourcing, inequality or climate change. "Successfully tackling these issues," Trumka said, "requires a fullcourt press of economic policies that empower workers, including the repeal of tax cuts which reward companies for shipping our jobs overseas."
