ACTU – Sign in to Defeat TPP

From Dave Oliver

Our PM is working his hardest to ram through a dangerous deal. We need to stop him.

Right now, Malcolm Turnbull is swanning around the United States, pushing for a trade deal that could cost you your job, your health and our democracy: the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP).

When he returns he'll set his sights on our Senators and try to get them to rubber-stamp it.

Luckily, the Liberals don’t have the numbers in the Senate to pass this dangerous deal if Labor, the Greens and the crossbench unite to block it.

Will you sign the petition calling on all Senators from all parties to reject this dangerous deal and stand up for Australian jobs, health and democracy?

We have to defeat the TPP because:

• it allows corporations to sue Australia just for making laws in the public interest (like lowering the cost of medicines for the sick).
• it will force Australia to take even more workers on dodgy visas, undermining our wages and conditions and allowing corporations to make a killing off the backs of exploited foreign workers.
• it says it will protect workers and the environment but is vague and almost unenforceable.

If Malcolm gets his way, the Australian parliament will rubberstamp this corporate power grab. We have to stop him. The Senate has to stop him.

Tell Senators they need to stand with the people, not the corporates.
