Surrounded by about 100 labor union supporters, Democratic congressional candidate Dan Maffei called Wednesday for a repeal of the NAFTA because he says it has cost Central New York thousands of jobs.
"Free trade doesn't work," Maffei said at a rally at the United Auto Workers regional office. "We need to throw out NAFTA."
Maffei accused Republican opponent Dale Sweetland of continuing to support the NAFTA pact between the United States, Canada and Mexico, and other free trade agreements, despite job losses in the 25th Congressional District. |
