Menendez, Senate Finance Committee Dems Issue Joint Statement During Hearing on Trade

Statement

Date: April 16, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Trade

As the Senate Finance Committee holds a hearing examining Trade Promotion Authority, Sens. Bob Menendez, Charles E. Schumer (D-NY), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Ben Cardin (D-MD), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Bob Casey (D-PA) issued the following joint statement:

"With millions of jobs on the line, American workers and manufacturers deserve more than a hastily scheduled hearing without an underlying bill. Congress should undergo a thorough and deliberative committee process for debating trade agreements that account for 40 percent of our world's GDP. And we should be debating a bill that has seen the light of day and contains strong provisions to protect American workers against illegal trade practices like currency manipulation."
