Disabled activists take aim at TTIP
DISABLED campaigners vowed to stand up to European Union-United States trade pact TTIP yesterday and called for international co-operation between workers, not bosses.
A motion on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) led to passionate speeches by disabled Unite activists at the union’s annual equalities conferences.
The call to resist the deal came less than an hour after Marsha Zkowski from US union United Steelworkers delivered a touching talk on struggle across the Atlantic.
