    Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions warns there will be another attempt in Congress on Tuesday to push through TAA and fast-track authority. “If that happens, it will empower the President to form a Pacific Union encompassing 40 percent of the world’s economy and 12 nations—each with one equal vote. Once the union is formed, foreign bureaucrats will be required to meet regularly to write the Commission’s rules, regulations, and directives—impacting Americans’ jobs, wages, and sovereignty,” Session says in a statement posted on his Senate web page. The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) would allegedly protect workers from the consequences of the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA).

TAA, however, would not protect workers as transnational corporations continue to pillage industries and move jobs offshore under TPA and fast-track. - Watch now
