I am sorry, I meant to fill this out and accidentally posted just the beginning.
the trade deal is the WTO General Agreement on Trade in Services or 'GATS". GATS is nothing less than a plan, which has been implemented over the last 20 years to hijack the world's future to serve only the interestrs of a very few, while looting economies for multinational corporations. part of the deal is a global job-trading scheme. jobs are in a sense, seen as bargaining chips which can be traded - by the use of so called "progressive liberalisation" Jobs are an attraction to the developing countries for good reason. They have both a financial and an educational value. Even if low paying. the controversial section of GATS which does this is called "Mode Four".
the following service sectors are explicitly defined under GATS (actually, these are just the top level categories)
Main services sectors
Business and professional services,
including:
•
Accountancy services
•
Advertising services
•
Architectural and engineering services
•
Computer and
related services
•
Legal services
Communication services
•
Audiovisual services
•
Postal and courier services
•
Telecommunications
Construction and related services
Distribution services
Educational services
Energy services
Environmental services
Financial services
Health and social services
Tourism services
Transport services
people would be well advised to get to understand the GATS and its global privatization agenda, and speak up.. In my opinion it does not represent Americn values.
Additionally, globalization is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to set up real partnerships between developed and developing nations that recognize the needs of both and support them. GATS is like a dagger pointed at the hearts of working people the world over and it needs to be rejected. But- the needs which GATS was and is an attempt to manipulate wont go away- Working people need to reach out directly and forge alliances that support a higher standard of living for everybody - while realizing the extensive state capture in many countries, such efforts need to be bottom up, not top down. Otherwise they will be perverted and dishonest.
