"There weren’t even any workers on Tuesday morning to get in the way of seven activists dressed in blue jumpsuits and yellow hardhats. They headed up those ladders–some to the second floor balcony and others to the very top.
Unfurling like a roll of toilet paper (which it depicted), a banner dropped from the rooftop that said, “Flush the TPP!”
Flush the TPP! is the campaign protesting the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement in final negotiations at the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office." from CoolRevolution.net
For more than five years, CWA activists and allies fought back against the TPP trade deal that threatened our jobs, our paychecks, and our communities. We lobbied our representatives, demonstrated outside the trade ministers' negotiating sessions, marched on Capitol Hill, and jammed the phone lines of Members of Congress, telling them to reject this corporate giveaway.

On Sept. 9, the latest round of negotiations on the Trans Pacific Partnership — the biggest Free Trade Agreement in U.S. history headed to Leesburg, Va. CWA activists rallied with labor, environmental, public health, Internet freedom, consumer, Occupy and other social justice organizations outside the negotiation site at the Lansdowne Resort at 44050 Woodridge Parkway in Leesburg.
The TPP is being negotiated behind closed doors. Only a handful of corporate lobbyists and trade officials have been able to see the details of the trade pact. This exclusive group includes lobbyists from Verizon, who want to make sure that the TPP makes it even easier to offshore call center and tech support jobs. It would create even more incentives for corporations to offshore manufacturing and service sector jobs and put even more pressure on workers' wages, benefits and collective bargaining rights.
The deal now includes Chile, Peru, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, Singapore, Canada and Mexico, but Japan has also indicated that it wants to join. To learn more visit www.citizenstrade.org.
It's time for the negotiators to hear from the people who will be most affected by this deal.

Stacy Bush and Cortney Haynes, IUE-CWA Local 81320 activists in Syracuse, NY, in conjunction with the letter-writing campaign to Members of Congress to reject "fast track" for the TPP, baked the "No TPP" cookies and helped deliver them to get the message out about TPP.
