Tell Congress:
Don't Leave Trade-Displaced Workers in the Lurch

Urge Congress to renew the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program that helps workers whose jobs are offshored

For more than four decades, the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program has provided workers who livelihoods are shipped overseas or displaced by imports with job retraining assistance and related benefits.

Shamefully, this vital assistance has been allowed to expire. Please urge Congress to renew TAA now!

We just need few pieces of information to connect you with your representatives.

Subject: Please renew the Trade Adjustment Assitance (TAA) program

Message:

For over 40 years, the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program provided critical benefits to workers who lost their jobs as a result of offshoring or increased imports. Today, this vital safety net has been allowed to expire, leaving in the lurch thousands of workers whose livelihoods have been destroyed through no fault of their own.<br><br>Workers adversely impacted by unfair trade deals deserve renewed access to the training programs and income support provided by a strong TAA program.  And everyone deserves the better trade enforcement policies found in the bipartisan Leveling the Playing Field Act 2.0 (S.1187) so that fewer jobs are offshored in the first place.<br><br>Finally, TAA renewal must NOT be held hostage to demands that it only be approved in exchange for Fast Track “trade promotion authority.” Fast Track-approved trade deals that circumvented ordinary congressional review, amendment and debate procedures are part of why so many workers need TAA in the first place.  A robust and improved TAA program deserves immediate reauthorization in its own right.
