FOR LABOR:
CREATE A GLOBAL WORK FORCE
In order to conquer the global frontier, we must add the necessary global component to the world's work force. By caring for and paying attention to the needs of those on the domestic front, we create a better world for working families and laborers everywhere.

LABOR LEADERS
George Becker
International President,
United Steelworkers of America
"We can not escape the global economy or trade. We must be concerned
about workers around the world. We must force national leaders to do the
right things concerning the global work force, we can not simply talk
about it. The time has come for us to focus the debate in the United States
on what economic system and trade we want. Do we want a system that supports
Wall Streeters and financiers or a system that addresses mainstream America
and its families?"
John Sweeney
President,
AFL-CIO
"Trade is not, by itself, the cause
of today's global difficulties, and better trade policy alone can not
solve them. We also have to simultaneously continue our work on the domestic
front, as well as make sure that our policies toward investment, development,
and the international financial institutions support rules of international
competition that are socially and economically rational, humane, and politically
viable. We need to start changing the rules of the globalization game
not just so we can have more trade, but so we can build a better world,
for working families here and abroad."
