Reach Out and Touch Your Representative

Congress has turned its back on working families. By voting to grant "fast-track" trade authority for the President, they have cleared the way for more unfair trade deals that will cost American jobs. After choosing to give away these constitutional responsibilities, Congress then voted a pay raise for themselves.

Although the fast-track legislation only passed by one vote, 21 Democrats who have enjoyed the support of Teamster members chose to vote against working families. The fight is not over yet. Fast-track must still go to the Senate and then possibly back through both chambers after the final versions are negotiated.

Below is contact information for each of these 21 members of Congress. Please call or email them and remind them that working families matter more than corporations. Tell them to stop giving away their authority.
