Free Trade. Agreement: Talking Points The TPP has been negotiated behind closed doors for seven years between the United States and eleven countries, including notorious human rights violators like Vietnam and Malaysia. While the public, press and Congress have been locked out, 600 official U.S. trade advisors mainly representing corporate interests have had a seat at the table and access to the secret text. A TPP deal was announced on October 5, 2015. But the TPP can only become reality if the U.S. Congress approves it. Even with the extreme secrecy and the administration refusing to release the “final” text, we know a lot about because of leaks and admissions made by the TPP negotiators. On the basis of what we already know, we know the TPP would:  Offshore tens of thousands of American jobs  Lower our wages by throwing Americans into competition with Vietnamese workers making less than 65 cents per hour and increase U.S. income inequality  Flood us with unsafe imported food and products  Waive Buy American & “buy local” policies that create green jobs and rebuild our economy  Increase medicines prices  Empower corporations to attack our environmental and health safeguards before tribunals of corporate lawyers, and demand unlimited taxpayer dollars as compensation  Free the Banksters from oversight
