In the Media, Cohen Blasts Effort to Push Through "Fast Track" for TPP

As some lawmakers this week tried to "fast track" the Trans-Pacific Partnership legislation, also called Trade Promotion Authority, CWA President Cohen was on the air and in the media, pointing out the groundswell of opposition across the country and across the political spectrum to "fast tracking" bad trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Watch Cohen and AFL-CIO President Rich Trumka talk with MSNBC host Ed Schultz here.

Earlier, Cohen talked about Democrats standing up against a bad deal on Ed radio. Listen here.

In Daily Kos, Cohen said that "this Fast Track for secret, unread trade deals must be a wake-up call that our democracy is in trouble," and called for people to mobilize "like we never have before."
