AFL Applauds Bam on SoKo No-Go

Trumka says prez's trade stance "showed today that he is not willing to settle for an inadequate deal that doesn't address the very real concerns of working people."

STATEMENT BY AFL-CIO PRESIDENT RICHARD TRUMKA ON SOUTH KOREA TRADE NEGOTIATIONS

President Obama showed today that he is not willing to settle for an inadequate deal that doesn't address the very real concerns of working people and small business. Given the precarious state of our economy, President Obama is exactly right in holding out for a deal that puts working people's interests first. President Obama should keep fighting for a balanced and workable trade deal that will protect the interests of American and Korean workers.
