Subject: Fast Track Authority on Trade Agreements!
This is a critical time on trade policy as negotiations on a fast track bill are
quickly progressing. Both the White House and the Republican leadership in
Congress are trying to push through a fast track bill, which would give all
future trade bills passage with a simple yes and no vote and would block any
amendments and attempts to filibuster . Senator Orin Hatch (UT) and Senator
Ron Wyden (OR) of the Senate Finance Committee are working on a bill that could
be released as early as next week. The House Ways and Means Committee is
working on similar fast track legislation.

The UAW strongly opposes a fast track bill, and is actively lobbying elected
leaders about the negative consequences our members will face if this bill is
passed. Currently the International Executive Board is focus on stopping a
fast track bill and has not taken a stance on Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP).
I have attached a flyer which outlines the reasons for your member of Congress
to oppose this. Please call today!! March_No_Fast_Track_Flyer

1-888-926-0045, tell them to vote no on fast track!
When you call you will be greeted with a short message, asked for your Local
Union number and lastly your zip code. You will then be connected to your U.S.
House of Representative member.

Thanks for assisting!
