The U.S. Chamber Is Challenging the Unions' Anti-Growth Agenda

  • An emboldened labor movement is pushing an aggressive activist agenda that would impose new and costly regulations on businesses, disrupt the way businesses are run, and stifle the U.S. economy. This agenda may be good for union bosses and the grab for power, but it's bad for U.S. competitiveness, bad for our economy, and bad for American workers.
  • While the U.S. Chamber strongly supports the right of workers to voluntarily join unions under fair and democratic rules, and we work closely with unions on issues such as infrastructure, energy, and immigration, we are determined to thwart bad policy.

See the full range of the Chamber's efforts on union issues

How does trade create new jobs & opportunities?

Reality Check:  The Internet is generally a great source of information. But we don't need to tell you that what you read isn't always the truth. Because of scare tactics and misperceptions advanced by opponents of global trading and investment, many Americans don't realize the positive impact of international trade and investment on their everyday lives.

Policy: In the 546 days that the U.S. - Colombia FTA has lingered in Congress since it was signed, American businesses and workers have paid over $1 billion in unnecessary tariffs that the trade agreement would eliminate.  That's $672 for every manufacturing worker in the United States.  Educate yourself on this and other key trade proposals. 

The Facts:  Did you know that U.S. small businesses export one billion dollars per day of goods and services?  Did you know that U.S. subsidiaries employ 5.1 million Americans? There are many other interesting trade facts you might not know.
