Why a US/UK Trade Deal must be opposed
23rd September 2020 - 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
This is an online meeting held over Zoom. Details to join can be found below.
Speakers:
- Jean Blaylock, campaign and policy manager from Global Justice Now
- Nikki Dancy, GMB Regional Organiser
- Gay Lee, Keep Our NHS Public
Our campaign is urgent because this trade deal could be done by Christmas. Corporations are lobbying hard because it could give them everything they want. Our voices need to be heard. Research reveals that these corporations are looking to maximise their profit even if that means lowering food standards, weakening chemical regulation, increasing medicine prices and stopping attempts to regulate the financial market. The infamous Pharma lobby has also been open that it wants to stop the NHS capping outrageous medicine prices, and a US-UK trade deal might just be how it gets its way.
How can we challenge this, and other toxic trade deals? This meeting will give us an opportunity to think about a positive way forward.
Jean has been involved with trade and food campaigning for over 15 years and will be able to give us an up-to-date picture of what is happening with the trade negotiations. Nikki will give us an idea of how the trade deal would affect workers’ rights and Gay Lee will be able to speak about the NHS. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and to find out how we can campaign on this issue.
