#356 – RESOLUTION AGAINST “FAST TRACK”
Councillor Milo introduced the following Resolution, which was co-sponsored with
Councillors Sargent, Furey, O’Keefe, Legault, Turiel and Eppley, and was adopted.
Resolution
Against “Fast Track” Salem City Council: 5/28/15
Whereas, “Fast Track” trade promotion authority is a type of trade policy that gives the executive
branch the opportunity to negotiate—out of public view—as many trade agreements as it can
during a given time period and send them to Congress, which must then vote yes-or-no with no
amendments within 90 days;
Whereas, under “Fast Track,” Congress cedes to the Executive Branch its power under Article I,
Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations”;
Whereas, “Fast Track” is an undemocratic process that limits debate and does not allow trade
agreements or their implementing bills to be amended or improved in any way;
Whereas, “Fast Track” is an unaccountable process that limits citizen participation in or knowledge
of the details of trade negotiations;
Whereas, “Fast Track” does not require Congress or any independent body to evaluate a trade
deal before finalization of the deal to ensure that it will have a positive impact on the U.S. trade
balance, create good, family-wage jobs or ensure that state and local governments can continue to
legislate and regulate in the public interest;
121
CITY OF SALEM
MAY 28, 2015
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Whereas, no trade deals, has ever been defeated under “Fast Track” procedures;
Whereas, ever since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was enacted under
“Fast Track” procedures, workers across North America—including in Mexico and Canada— have
experienced downward pressure on wages and greater threats to their ability to organize and
collectively bargain;
Whereas, bad U.S. trade deals like NAFTA and the newer Korea FTA have resulted in an
unbalanced system in which corporate profits soar even as workers take home a diminishing share
of our national income;
Whereas, "Fast Track" would apply to trade agreements such as the Trans Pacific Partnership,
which are already being negotiated even though Congress has not yet weighed in on whether all
the participants are appropriate trading partners;
Whereas, "Fast Track" has been used to advance trade agreements that do not ensure that all
workers can freely exercise their fundamental labor rights, including freedom of association and
collective bargaining, thereby encouraging a race to the bottom;
Whereas, trade policies adopted under “Fast Track” have cost us more than one millions jobs,
have contributed to more than 60,000 factories shutting down and have exacerbated income
inequality here in the United States and around the globe;
Whereas, trade policies adopted under “Fast Track” put America’s families at risk from unsafe
imports, including food, pet food, and children’s toys;
Whereas, “Fast Track” does not require trade deals to include enforceable rules against the use of
currency manipulation, which has cost America’s workers millions of jobs;
Whereas, the most recent trade deals to become law under “Fast Track” include a deal with
Colombia—a country that fails to protect labor rights and in which nearly 3,000 labor leaders and
activists have been assassinated since 1986, and Korea—a country with which we have an
increasingly lopsided trade deficit that cost 60,000 jobs in just the first year of the agreement;
Whereas, “Fast Track” provides corporate rights without corporate responsibilities, even failing to
ensure that corporations are responsible for labor, environmental and health and safety violations
in their supply chain;
Whereas, there is a better way to negotiate trade deals so that they promote the creation of
decent, family-wage jobs, encourage shared prosperity rather than skewed benefits for economic
elites, protect our environment, ensure the safety of imported food and other products, revitalize
our manufacturing sector, and eliminate the separate system of justice for foreign companies that
want to sue America (known as “ISDS”) and other provisions that provide corporations with undue
influence over the global economy;
122
CITY OF SALEM
MAY 28, 2015
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
1. Salem City Council, opposes any “Fast Track” legislation that fails to provide greater openness,
robust opportunities for citizen and Congressional participation in trade negotiations, and clear
accountability mechanisms to ensure the Executive Branch brings back trade deals that will have a
positive impact on the U.S. trade balance, create good, family-wage jobs and ensure that state and
local governments can continue to legislate and regulate in the public interest;
2. Salem City Council calls upon all federal elected officials representing the City of Salem to
oppose any “Fast Track” legislation that gives the executive branch the power to negotiate behind
closed doors and a blank check to negotiate bad trade deals that can’t be fix before Congress is
required to vote; and
3. Salem City Council, whenever possible, will work to promote better trade rules and a new form
of trade negotiating authority that promotes good, family-wage jobs, protects labor rights for all
workers, and supports a clean environment, a safe food supply, sustainable growth, and robust
public interest policies while ensuring that the negotiating process is democratic, accountable,
transparent and open to the public.
