Union to appeal NAFTA setback
By Staff -- Purchasing, 9/2/1999
The United Steelworkers of America plans to appeal a federal court ruling that the North American Free Trade Agreement (nafta) is constitutional and does not have to be submitted for congressional ratification under the Treaty Clause. The union continues to disagree with the view of Alabama Federal District Court Judge Robert B. Propst that the U.S., Canadian, and Mexican trade pact is an international agreement dealing with commercial matters. The union will appeal the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, contending its steelworker membership "has suffered injuries directly attributable to nafta."
