Employers Continue to Discriminate Against Jobless, Think 'The Best People Are Already Working'

Candidate Obama, February 2008:



"We have to stop providing tax breaks for companies that are shipping jobs overseas and give those tax breaks to companies that are investing here in the United States of America," Obama said in during a debate with rival Senator Hillary Clinton in Cleveland, Ohio.



The Illinois Senator said he would ensure that every pact the US signs has environmental, safety and labour standards to protect workers and consumers alike.



"We can't have toys with lead paint in them that our children are playing with. We can't have medicines that are actually making people more sick instead of better because they're produced overseas," Obama said.



"The problem is we've been negotiating just looking at corporate profits and what's good for multinationals; as President, what I want to be is an advocate on behalf of workers".
