DONALD TRUMP’S expected trade deal with Britain could threaten workers’ rights, trade unionists were warned today. 

Speaking to a fringe meeting at the TUC conference today, policy officer Rosa Crawford explained that the deal could allow US corporations to erode workers’ rights in pursuit of profit. 

The deal, currently being negotiated between the two governments, clearly has a “corporate agenda,” she stressed, with the US seeking to lower tariffs and non-tariff barriers.
