If anyone wants to go back and read the news around the NAFTA debate, when labor started fighting back, you had Clinton and the Dems and the media calling labor unions a bunch of bullies, entrenched special interests, etc.

Not that the business interests pushing for TPP are anything besides very narrow special interests.
