negotiating with doors open leaves too much room for hyper critcism from the public that could cause real problems with ever getting a deal at all.
Trade deals are the only way to get any benefits for labor at all internationally and, whether we like it or not a ton of middle class people work for corporations.
Our lives do depend on the success of the corporation. They're just getting screwed by those that control the purse strings.
That's a problem I think best solved domestically.
