Action Call For Fast Track

 

Reminder: critical action needed this week!
Every Call Counts
Join in the June 3 National Call-In Day and Help STOP Fast Track!
Last week, the Senate voted 62-37 to pass Fast Track. The fight now moves to the real battleground in the U.S. House of Representatives. Currently they don’t have the votes to

pass Fast Track. We need to keep it that way as the pressure builds. You have been working your Representatives for months with calls, letters, petitions, meetings and action. It all has come down to the next few weeks – and we are ready to end Fast Track now!As the U.S. House prepares to take on this issue in June, it is critical that they continue to hear from us. Keep talking to your members, families and friends about what passage of a Fast Track bill means: trade policies adopted under Fast Track have cost us millions of jobs, contributed to more than 60,000 factories shutting down, given even more power to giant corporations and driven income inequality here in the United States and around the globe.


Make Your Call for the June 3 National Call-In Day

This is our moment, and we intend to take it! As our Representatives return to D.C., we want to welcome them with a stark reminder of where we need them to stand. Steelworkers and our allies from across the nation will be participating in a national call-in day on Wednesday, June 3. This needs to be a big effort to send a strong signal. Call your Representative and tell him or her to oppose Fast Track!

Make sure that your local is ready to participate:

  1. Download and make copies of the ActionCall HERE.
  2. Share this with your Rapid Response Team and others who can help get the information around.
  3. Take advantage of break times, shift changes and any other times when members can make calls.
  4. Encourage everyone in your workplace to take part. Help inexperienced callers by walking through the process. Remind your members that it only takes a moment of their time and that each and every call matters right now. Our toll-free number will guide callers to the right Representative’s office.

The work you are doing and have done has been amazing. The fact that the votes aren’t currently there in the House is proof of that. We thank you!
