Free Trade, Alcohol Regulation Roundup, and the CEI Podcast

Free Trade

Congress will soon vote on several free trade pacts that unions have long held up.

Adjunct Scholar Fran Smith comments.

“Although there appears to be bipartisan support, the AFL-CIO is still opposed to all of the pending FTAs and brought hundreds of union members to Capitol Hill to tell their congressional cohorts to vote against all three pacts. Their particular focus is on the U.S.-Colombia FTA, even though they demanded — and got — an Action Plan for Colombia to take specific and onerous steps to ostensibly protect union workers in that country.”
