Hey discovered this account was still out there. Carl showed me how to use it over dinner. Lets keep the tweet bar low. Hope you all have been well.
Today, the House passed a resolution I authored remembering the victims & survivors of the 1932-33 Ukraine Famine, known as #Holodomor. Its passage is another reflection of the basic values of the American people. | My statement: bit.ly/20181211_UkrRe…
...the GM layoffs & plant closings underscore why #NAFTA remains unpopular in industrial areas. The new NAFTA - renamed the #USMCA to avoid any association with the old one - still falls short on providing protections for workers, jobs, & wages. | My op/ed bit.ly/20181207_Levin…
Without changes, in law and practice, that address the suppressed low wages & dismantle the so-called protection agreements in Mexico, the new #NAFTA will continue conditions that have led to outsourced American jobs.
The new #NAFTA fails to forcefully & directly address the lack of assured & real labor reform in Mexico, in language & in practice. Failing that, it will only lock in the status quo of massive outsourcing to Mexico for decades to come & its consequences. bit.ly/20181129_NAFTA…
There has been this major shift of production to Mexico. So much new #NAFTA talk centers on rules of origin and composition percentages but misses the core problem of suppressed, low wages in Mexico that leads to the race to the bottom that contributes to American jobs lost.
The recent GM announcement must serve as a major wake up call. Mexico’s persistent, suppressed low wages of a few dollars per hour caused a major outsourcing of vehicle & supplier production to Mexico, suppressing American wages & creating job loss. - bit.ly/20181127_GM-NA…
I was honored to be presented with the St. Volodymyr the Great Medal - in recognition for outstanding contribution to the development and prosperity of Ukraine - by Eugene Czolij, President of the Ukrainian World Congress, in Kiev yesterday.
Speaking this afternoon about the importance of remembering the Holodomor, the Ukrainian Famine-Genocide. Awareness and remembrance will stand against denial and minimization.
I testified today at the U.S. International Trade Commission w/@repsandylevin on NAFTA renegotiations. Any deal must get it right for American workers and American small businesses.
Today, Rep. @BillPascrell & I testified before the U.S. ITC. I warned them that the failure to rectify the basic flaw in & the major source of controversy over #NAFTA 25 years ago will jeopardize #USMCA support from the new House Democratic majority | bit.ly/20181115_SMLat…
