The IDC fully endorses the opposition of trade unions and civil organisations to the EU-USA free trade agreement, the TTIP - Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Monday, the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), which represents over 70 multinational ocean carriers and maritime companies in contract negotiations with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), began a media offensive against the ILWU.
