lies and free trade

Queen’s Statement: Free trade and free trade agreements are anything but free for the workers, unless you mean a “free” ride to low wages and loss of control over your ability to be represented in the work place.  Trade agreements are nothing more than another form of corporate welfare as the sole beneficiary of these agreements are corporations, their CEO’s and shareholders–not the workers.  Workers have nothing to do with the signing of these agreements.  They have no representation.  Free trade agreements are synonymous with slavery.

Proclaim the Queen!
