Bring Jobs back to America

By Richard D. Daugherty

Candidate for US Representative; Pennsylvania Congressional District; District 15; Democratic Party

This information is provided by the candidate
Unfair trade policies have wrecked our manufacturing base. Congress did this by passing unfair trade policies and Congress can fix it.
Beginning with NAFTA and continuing up until a few months ago when Congress passed trade agreements with South Korea, Columbia and Panama, our manufacturing jobs have been sent overseas. Cheap labor, lax environmental regulations, poor labor laws, and unfair tax regulations have shifted millions of jobs from American workers to foreigners, many of whom toil in sweatshop conditions. Until we stop this our economy will never recover and America risks developing a permanent underclass. I will fight to protect our businesses, manufacturing base and workers from unfair trade.
