Union To Picket Obama Fundraiser Over Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Deal
<div class='node-body'><div class="content-body">
<p>Today in Portland, Ore., for the first time in Barack Obama's presidency, a union plans to picket one of his fundraisers. The 5,000 member-strong Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers (AWPPW) will picket the luncheon fundraiser because of their disgust with Obama’s handling of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free-trade agreement, which they feel will cost them jobs if ratified.</p></div></div><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-news-hp-image">
