Cardin Targeted as Fast Track Battle Moves to Senate

The Fast Track battle has now shifted back to the Senate where there will be a cloture vote on Tuesday, June 23. Sixty votes are needed to move on final passage, and the AFL-CIO’s Maya Goines is urging local labor activists and supporters to tell Senator Ben Cardin (MD, D) to “say no to ‘fast track!’”

To reach Cardin, call 1-855-712-8441.

“Make no mistake, all workers, public sector and private sector, teachers and building trades, will be hurt by this legislation,” warns the AFL-CIO. “This bill will kill jobs, drive down wages, hurt the environment, threaten food safety, and give corporations sweeping power. Don’t let the U.S. Senate pull a fast one on America’s working people!”
