TPP Still Secret, Congress Vote Might Be Delayed

TPP Still Secret, Congress Vote Might Be Delayed:



 "The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement is complete, but we still are not allowed to know what is in it.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has called on the President to release the text of TPP to the public. The Hill has the story, in “Trumka calls for immediate release of TPP text“:

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka wrote a letter to President Obama arguing that stakeholders, lawmakers and the American public need to see the final text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) to start what is expected to be a long process of evaluating the deal brokered by the United States and 11 other nations.

House and Senate Democrats have made similar appeals since the pact was brokered a week ago during a final round of negotiations in Atlanta."
