Democratic Caucus: TPP Must Lead to Improved Outcomes for All Workers

Share This Article:

Some 153 House Democrats signed a letter to U.S. Trade RepresentativeMichael Froman calling on him to "take action to ensure better outcomes inour ongoing negotiation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), particularly in

countries that have lengthy histories of denying workers their rights, such asVietnam."

Reps. George Miller, (D-CA), Mark Pocan, (D-WI) and Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), circulated the letter among their Democratic colleagues, urging them to

join the call to protect worker rights, most notably in Vietnam, but also inMalaysia, Brunei, and Mexico, where violations of worker rights also persist.

"It is...critical to ensure that ongoing TPP negotiations lead to improvedoutcomes for workers in the TPP based on basic labor rights and humandignity," the lawmakers wrote to Froman.

Workers in Vietnam face extraordinary abuses, including forced or indentured

child labor. Workers in Malaysia, the Department of State reports, have theirrights to freedom of association and collective bargaining "severelyrestricted," including prohibitions on union membership by workers in severalsectors, significant limits on the right to strike, and governmental interferencein union registration.

Joining lawmakers on a media call today, CWA President Larry Cohenapplauded House Democratic Caucus members for standing up for workersat home and abroad.

"We want 21st century trade that benefits U.S. workers, consumers and

communities and that gives labor standards as much standing as corporateand investor rights," Cohen said. The Obama administration cannot goforward with some version of 'Boehner trade' that relies on Republicansupport for passage. The 153 Democrats signing this letter have made itclear: they will not support 'fast track' authorizing legislation until they haveread and approved the negotiated TPP deal."

The 153 members of Congress told Froman that "the Administration mustrefrain from validating such woefully inadequate labor norms and the finalagreement should be withheld until these countries embrace the need toreform their labor laws and move aggressively to implement them. We must

apply pressure to countries like Vietnam and others to improve theirconditions and laws to protect and empower their working class, and toensure that the American marketplace is not flooded with goods produced byworkers lacking fundamental rights," they wrote.

They also cited recent Vietnamese media reports of the country's senioradvisor on international trade, Truong Dinh Tuyen, saying that Vietnam wouldnot accept a TPP requirement that workers be allowed to establishindependent labor unions, but would instead accept a compromise thatdevolved some power to local unions.

"We were concerned that Mr. Tuyen seems to believe that halfway measureswill be adequate. That is not the case. All TPP member nations, includingVietnam, must fully comply with TPP labor obligations, including related tofreedom of association and collective bargaining," the letter said.

CEO Pay Is How Much?!

Share This Article:

Wow. Just when you thought it couldn't get any more absurd, an averageAmerican worker now must work 257 years to make what a typical S&P 500CEO makes in a single year.

The AP reports:

The median pay package for a CEO rose above eight figures for thefirst time last year. The head of a typical large public company earned arecord $10.5 million, an increase of 8.8 percent from $9.6 million in2012, according to an Associated Press/Equilar pay study...Last yearwas the fourth straight that CEO compensation rose following a decline

during the Great Recession. The median CEO pay package climbedmore than 50 percent over that stretch.

Meanwhile, CEOs now make 354 times as much as the average employeeand the gap between workers' pay and productivity continues to widen. From1973 to 2011, worker productivity grew 80.4 percent, while the inflation-adjusted median hourly compensation for those workers grew just one-eighthof that amount,according to the Economic Policy Institute.

Now imagine if wages actually kept up with the hard work that we do everyday. Bargaining rights are the way that happens. When workers have

bargaining rights, income inequality goes down. Unfortunately in the U.S.,where just 7 percent of private sector workers have union representation, the1 percent gets more and more of the economic pie.

We know that, alone, we can't achieve our goals of bargaining rights, goodwages and secure jobs, and health care and retirement security. But we alsoknow that when we work with our partners and allies greens, goodgovernment groups, civil rights and students' organizations, and many more we can make things happen. That's how we're building a movement of 50million activists for real change.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is working on a rule, part of theDodd-Frank Wall Street reforms, that will require public companies todisclose the ratio of CEO pay to median employee pay.

Meanwhile, corporations are fighting hard to keep their executives' pay asecret. It's not hard to see why.

Cohen: 'We Need A Common Narrative'

Share This Article:

New populism necessitates movement building, CWA President Larry Cohensaid.

"New populism can't just be the sum of the parts. We have to really strugglebeyond our parts," he said, speaking at a Campaign for America's Futureevent focused on strategies for educating, energizing and mobilizing aroundan agenda for economic change.

He added, "I'm a big believer that we need a common narrative."

Watch Cohen's remarks here.

CWA President Larry Cohen tells participants at the Campaign for America'sFuture "New Populism" conference that building a democracy movement isthe key to gaining progressive change..

Walking attendees through the latest edition of CWA's Movement Buildingbooklet, Cohen stressed the importance of linking economic justice anddemocracy. He connected the dots between unfair trade deals and whyworkers haven't seen an increase in real wages in decades. He explained therise and fall of collective bargaining in the United States compared to the restof the world. And he explained the lessons of activists' latest struggles and

victories at T-Mobile US.

Cohen traced the movement back to the 2008 election, which ushered inPresident Obama and a Democratic majority in both chambers of Congress.

"We won't do better than that and it didn't cut it," he said. "So if we keep ondoing the same things, including what we did then, we're like rats on a

treadmill, literally. So we learned from that election."

The 2011 Wisconsin protests that took over the state capitol taught activistswhat democracy looked like, Cohen said. The following 99 Percent SpringTraining, which taught 100,000 people about the principles of collective

nonviolent action, solidified how to enact real change. Next came the launchof the Democracy Initiative in 2013, where labor, civil rights, voting rights,environmental, good government and other like-minded organizationscommitted to end the corrupting influence of corporate money in politics,prevent the systemic manipulation and suppression of voters, and curb theabuse of Senate rules.

Last summer's successful fight to upend the Senate's archaic traditions isproof of what can happen when a broad coalition bands together around acommon cause, Cohen noted. The Committee for Better Banks where bankworkers around the world are joining together with local community groups to

advocate fair wages and respect on the job shows how solidarity can crossborders and languages.

"We need a democracy movement that resembles a lot more of what we sawin Tunisia than anything we've seen here in generations," he said.

Cohen encouraged everyone to break out of his and her silos.

"Can we do more than what each of our groups are set up to do? Can wecompete a little less for resources? Can we compete a little less forleadership? Can we put a little bit more into common ideas, like the

Democracy Initiative?" he asked.

Attendees at the all-day New Populism Conference also heard from Sens.Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio); Reps. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.); and Rev.William Barber II.

A new poll by CBS News finds that an overwhelming majority of Americans 3 out of every 4 believe that wealthy Americans have more opportunity toinfluence the election process.

Unfortunately, that view isn't shared by five of the nine Supreme Courtjustices, who are allowing a flood of money from individuals and secretdonors to harm our democracy.

Back to the poll: 76 percent say that spending by outside groups on politicaladvertising should be limited, and 71 percent think individual contributions topolitical campaigns should be limited.

Next week, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on anamendment by Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) that would give Congress theauthority to regulate fundraising and spending in federal political campaignsand allow states to regulate campaign spending at that level. That bill has 36Senate sponsors.
