"He should go back and talk with the parent-less children in the region, whose parents had no choice but to look for work overseas because they couldn't find work in their own country due to these so-called 'free trade' agreements," she added.

This isn't something that only happens to other countries. Many of my former coworkers have been forced to leave Los Angeles in the past year and a half in order to pursue work in their field. An enormous number of animation and VFX jobs have left drawn overseas by subsidies offered by other countries leaving people with between 20-15 years experience, former employees of places like digital domain, Dreamworks, Disney and Sony unable to find work locally. So they take work in Canada, the UK, New Zealand, China and India leaving their children behind. Sme single parents I know have had to leave their kids with their parents. So this isn't something that only effects people from other countries or in manufacturing.

I don't understand why trade negotiations that effect workers are being conducted in secret and with no one representing the workers from each country.
