Hoffa “‘Hold Accountable’ Those Who Backed for Obama’s Free Trade Deals.”

Hoffa said that his union will “hold accountable” members of Congress who voted to pass the three long’delayed free trade agreements last week. “The Teamsters will hold members of Congress accountable at the ballot box for their votes on these damaging trade deals,” Hoffa said in a statement denouncing the deals. “Our representatives just voted to damage our economy, raise unemployment and lower workers’ wages,” he said. “These trade deals protect the profit of multinationals at the expense of American working families.”
