It is completely unacceptable that this treaty is being written and negotiated in total secrecy. Its even more unacceptable that the thing is supposed to be secret even after it goes into force. This treaty will have a power of law and you will be subject to it without knowing what it actually says. God knows what it will contain when it comes out.
International trade can be very beneficial for all countries involved. But they should be entered into force like all other treaties and laws. They should be publicly known and subject to public debate.
- drawkbox 12y agoTrade is good, secrets are bad. Worst part of secret trade agreements is that it is isn't fair to the future of workers affected by agreements. If your business or career is going to be affected, knowing about this as it happens is good to prepare and make a change. No doubt there is no changing what capital, corporations and wealth want to do but at least give the little guy a heads up. In secret, all you are doing is harming people and then when it affects them in the end it will be too late or put them in a bind. In an age of information and being smart about careers and futures, a secret trade agreement is feudal in nature and only for the kings.
