Abstract

NAFTA's Opposition
C.L. | June 14, 1993 issue

add to cart   close window

In the past two years, an unusual anti-NAFTA coalition has emerged. People and organizations that formerly would never speak to one another are meeting on a regular basis. The opposition includes businesses, labor unions, environmental and consumer groups, and Ross Perot. Although the anti-NAFTA forces are substantially outspent by the paid lobbyists and consultants of Mexico and corporate America, their ability to mobilize their members makes them somewhat competitive. Many NAFTA opponents belong to the Citizens Trade Campaign, a broad coalition of more than seventy national organizations. Its annual budget is a mere $200,000, and it employs only three full-time national staff members and fourteen field staffers.
