[CTC] LIVE STREAM LINK - AFL-CIO Trade conference

[Thomas Palley]

Dear Friends & Colleagues:

 

This Tuesday June 28, 2016, the AFL-CIO is holding a conference titled
"Trading Up: A Critical Perspective on Jobs, Governance & Security in U.S.
Trade Policy," from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in Washington, DC.  The full program
is attached.

 

The conference registration is full, but I invite you to join us online for
what should be an lively and insightful debate-especially given recent
developments around the Brexit and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

 

You can watch the conference at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMI_DfBvLk8
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMI_DfBvLk8&feature=youtu.be>
&feature=youtu.be and join in the discussion online using #BetterTrade.  

 

Please tweet any questions for panelists to conference organizer Celeste
Drake (@cdrakefairtrade <mailto:cdrake at aflcio.org> ).  

 

Please feel free to share this invitation widely.

 

Sincerely,

 

Tom Palley
