17 April 2015 By Public Services International (PSI)

The new wave of trade and investment agreements such as the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), Trade in Services Agreement (TISA) and many others go far beyond previous trade agreements. Negotiated in secret they enshrine corporate rights, facilitate privatisation and undermine governments' ability to regulate in the public interest.

PSI has been working with union and civil society allies to campaign against these agreements.
