Episode 3 - Two members of Congress talk about their efforts to protect American workers against unfair foreign competition.

This week’s POWERcast features interviews with two members of Congress who are working hard for workers’ rights. They are West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, co-chairman of the Senate’s Steel Caucus, and Ohio Congresswoman Betty Sutton, an attorney with an expertise in labor law. She’s organizing freshmen Democrats to oppose renewal of the President’s Fast Track authority – which prevents Congress from amending trade deals. And Rockefeller talks about his proposed legislation called “Strengthening America’s Trade Laws Act.” POWERcast also names another Creep of the Week. This guy threw himself a $3 million birthday party after laying off workers.
