The Clintons have a long history of posing as labor populists during elections, only to become free trade deregulators after taking power. Bill Clinton, with Hillary at his side, made huge campaign promises to labor in 1992, and labor leaders spent millions of dollars to put the Clintons in the White House. Within months of their electoral victory, the Clintons rammed Republican-initiated free-trade bills – NAFTA and GATT – through a Democratic Congress. Outsourcing of jobs to sweatshops in Mexico and Indonesia actually accelerated under the Clinton globalization agenda. The Clintons increased subsidies for corporate mergers and relaxed regulations that protect the public from abuse of corporate power.

The media are doing very little to inform voters about Clinton’s globalization agenda. Will Hillary Clinton’s anti-labor record catch up with her before Pennsylvania voters go to the polls in late April?
