Richard Trumka Urges Senate to Deny Fast Track Authority for TPP
Major labor unions and business groups argued against President Obama's request for "fast track" authority to advance trade deals currently under negotiation with several nations. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka testified before the Senate Finance Committee against fast-track authority, saying that fast track legislation would rob Congress of a meaningful role in shaping the future of U.S. trade deals.
"The idea that fast track lets Congress set the standards and goals for the TPP is an absolute fiction," Trumka said, referring to the pending 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Trumka said the Trans-Pacific Partnership "has been under negotiation for more than five years and is essentially complete. Congress cannot set meaningful negotiating objectives in a fast track bill if the...

Do U.S. presidents need a fast-track or should their power by sharply curtailed? Stanford Political Scientist Terry Moe, says to save our democracy, we have to make the U.S. government faster, more efficient, and more effective — and we can do that by expanding the power of the executive branch to use "fast-track" authority to approve all types of legislation. Moe, who's the author of Presidents, Populism, and the Crisis of Democracy, wants Congress to have the power to approve or deny these laws through an "up or down" vote but not to add amendments or filibuster their passage.
The Cato Institute's Gene Healy says that non-libertarians of all political persuasions suffer from a "dangerous devotion" to the "boundless nature of presidential responsibility." Healy, who's the author of The Cult of the Presidency, says that instead of giving the executive branch more legislative authority, presidential powers must be brought back to their Constitutional limits.
At a Reason-sponsored Soho Forum debate held on March 17, 2020, Terry Moe and Gene Healy went head-to-head on this issue in a recent virtual Soho Forum debate, moderated by Soho Forum Director, Gene Epstein. It was an Oxford-style debate, meaning the winner is the person who moves the most people in their direction.

Major labor unions and business groups argued against President Obama's request for "fast track" authority to advance trade deals currently under negotiation with several nations. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka testified before the Senate Finance Committee against fast-track authority, saying that fast track legislation would rob Congress of a meaningful role in shaping the future of U.S. trade deals.
"The idea that fast track lets Congress set the standards and goals for the TPP is an absolute fiction," Trumka said, referring to the pending 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Trumka said the Trans-Pacific Partnership "has been under negotiation for more than five years and is essentially complete. Congress cannot set meaningful negotiating objectives in a fast track bill if the administration has already negotiated most of the key provisions."
The AFL-CIO has many issues with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, problems with both the substance of the agreement and the process by which it is being negotiated. Concerns with the deal include currency manipulation, failure to address and enforce uniform climate change initiatives, failure to create sustainable jobs in U.S., while discouraging purchases of American made goods.
