This must not be allowed to happen.<\/p>\n<p>From what is known about the secret\u00a0TiSA\u00a0deal, it would have a profound and negative impact on financial regulation, protections for workers and consumers alike, and across a whole raft of other areas. Governments have still not learned the lesson that putting corporate interests ahead of the living standards and lives of their own people is not only unjust, it is political stupidity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The leaked information shows how governments would have to \u201cconsult\u201d with multinationals when considering new regulations, and how so-called \u201cratchet\u201d and \u201cstandstill\u201d provisions would make it impossible to undo disastrous privatisations. Companies like Uber, which thrive on employing workers without even the most basic rights to decent pay and working conditions, would be allowed to extend their reach across swathes of the economy. Employers would also be able to move workers in professions like law and accountancy from country to country, without having to respect national laws.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTiSA is good news for banks and tax havens, and for some of the most irresponsible corporations on the planet. Even local government authorities would be banned from supporting local services companies, which would hurt small businesses and local communities. TiSA is bad news for working families and for the very function of democratic government. TiSA in its current form is totally unacceptable, and if there is a need for an agreement on trade in services, then negotiators should start again, with an open and democratic process and without corporate lobbyists calling the shots,\u201d said Burrow.<\/p>\n<p>The report is based on information leaked before the current round of TiSA negotiations. Information from those negotiations is limited, since governments still insist on keeping the talks secret.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/all-about-tisa?lang=en\">Download<\/a>\u00a0the ITUC press release \u201cTiSA : Trade in Services Agreement is Bad News for Workers and Communities\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>More information :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/alles-uber-tisa\">http:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/alles-uber-tisa<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/el-acs-en-detalle\">http:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/el-acs-en-detalle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/a-propos-de-l-acs\">http:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/a-propos-de-l-acs<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium with_line width_50 thick_3 style_solid color_primary align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_auto\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read here the latest ITUC report on TiSA : Trade in Services Agreement is Bad News for Workers and Communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5073,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"dossier-special":[],"class_list":["post-5075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>TiSA: Bad News for Workers &amp;
