On the April 19th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about the effects of US trade policies on California’s economy.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that from 1994 to 2015, California lost more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs to NAFTA and WTO agreements. How have trade politics shaped the state’s economy. What are the implications of the Trans-Pacific Partnership for California’s economy and workers’ rights ? Join conversation, on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.
Guests:
Xiomara Castro, Northern California director of The Citizens Trade Campaign
Harley Shaiken, director of the Center for Latin American Studies and Professor of Letters and Science at UC Berkeley
