The failure of the Senate to advance fast track legislation is not only a stinging defeat for supporters of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP); it makes clear that the American people will not be fooled into supporting another bad trade deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust a few weeks ago, all of the pundits believed that fast track and the TPP were a lock to pass: they were wrong. Our 1.3 million members, the entire labor movement, progressive Democrats, and conservative Republicans have all stood up and spoke out against this disastrous trade deal. More importantly, this is what is possible when we all stand together and fight for what is right for our families, our jobs, and our nation. While this battle is far from over, we can only hope that President Obama and every TPP supporter hears the voices of the American people and understands that this is a fight they cannot and should not win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">###<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Join the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufcw.org\">United Food and Commercial Workers International Union<\/a> (UFCW) online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufcw.org\">www.ufcw.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">We are 1.3 million families standing together to build an economy that every hard-working family deserves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UFCWinternational\">www.facebook.com\/UFCWinternational<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/UFCW\">@UFCW<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Says Failure to Advance Fast Track a Stinging Defeat for TPP Proponents WASHINGTON, D.C.\u2014Marc Perrone, International President of the 1.3 million member United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), today released the following statement after the Senate failed to advance fast track legislation. \u201cAll across this country, hard-working Americans from every political stripe have [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":213,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19994","press_releases","type-press_releases","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>UFCW President Perrone: Hard-Working Americans Have Sent a Message Loud and Clear\u2014No TPP - The United Food &amp;
