ITF comment on today’s TPPA signing in New Zealand

He continued: “TPPA has been characterised by secrecy and lack of consultation. Unless resisted, as, thankfully, unions and other organisations have done and continue to do, it threatens to usher in a free trade free-for-all where anything goes – except for protections for ordinary citizens.”

ITF general secretary Steve Cotton added: “TPPA is a poor match for the diverse needs and expectations of Asia-Pacific countries. It is being foisted on their peoples by a narrow range of governmental and business special interests. It’s great to see people gathering in New Zealand today proclaiming ‘TPPA no way!’ as part of a groundswell of opinion that will continue to challenge this agreement during its planned ratification and implementation processes.”
