We're quite certain that doesn't surprise you.
Hat tip to Teamsters International Vice President Al Mixon for pointing this out. Mixon, principal officer of Local 507 in Cleveland, gave a speech at the Teamsters convention last year about our misguided trade policy:
Thanks to NAFTA, CAFTA and the PNTR, there are a lot of things we used to make in Ohio that we don’t make anymore. If you remember, the Etch A Sketch toys, the No. 2 pencils, Eveready batteries, Campbell Soup noodles that gets shipped in now, the Amana stoves. They call it free trade. You know what I call it? It’s bad legislation.
