Portland has been home to Freightliner Trucks for over 50 years, they have provided good union wage jobs to families since the 1940's, but now due to harmful free trade agreements Freightliner is laying off 800 union workers and permanently moving to Mexico. The Labor Department certified these offshoring of jobs as directly related to U.S. trade policy.

Free Trade Agreements like NAFTA, CAFTA and the WTO (all of which were approved under "Fast Track" trade promotion authority) make it easier for companies like Freightliner to ship Oregon jobs out of the country - Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith continue to support Fast Track and NAFTA-style trade deals.

Join recently laid-off Freigtliner workers and others in solidarity to tell our elected officials that giving away Oregon Jobs and opposing harmful trade agreements that do not protect worker's rights, the environment, and living standards worldwide is something we take seriously.
