This program, which expired in 2022, provides training and educational opportunities for workers who lost their jobs due to foreign countries like China circumventing trade rules. In today's episode, we're talking with David Van Pevenage, who was part of the D.C. coalition and who worked at a WestRock paper mill in Washington state until it was shuttered due to unfair trade. We'll also hear from USW Legislative Director Roy Houseman, who was fortunate enough to benefit from TAA years ago, about why this program is so vital to American workers and their communities. Music in this episode by BlueDot Sessions.","meta_description":"Last month, members of the United Steelworkers union from across the U.S. traveled to the nation's capital in Washington, D.C., to talk to their elected o…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1459,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/solidarity-works-528781/episodes/fighting-for-fair-trade-why-it-matters-and-how-we-do-it/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/solidarity-works-528781/fighting-for-fair-trade-why-it-matters-and-how-we-do-it.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
