"This brochure seeks to provide trade unionists with an overview of what is behind the negotiations on the EU-US and TransPacific trade and investment agreements and their likely impact. It explains why we need to organize to defeat these treaties, to roll back the layers of protection shielding transnational capital from democratic regulation and to begin putting in place a system of global rules which eff ectively enforces respect for human rights over the private claims of investors."
