Even America’s W.T.O. victories produce few, or no, benefits when it comes time to enforcing a W.T.O. ruling. Making the W.T.O. a United Nations agency is the only way it could get worse for Americans.

Hussein motives are less than pure; so I don’t know why rank & file union members would think going to the W.T.O is in their best interests? In fact, Hussein is more concerned with strengthening an International organization than he is concerned about American jobs or the trade imbalance.
Surely, relying on W.T.O. decisions to protect America’s industries and jobs contributed to the massive unemployment in this country in the first place. Paper victories over China won’t change anything:

There is absolutely no evidence the W.T.O. creates jobs in this country.
Bottom line: If Hussein has to go to an International organization based in Europe to bring back the American auto industry who the hell is he working for?
America’s membership in the World Trade Organization has been anything but beneficial. Not only have millions of jobs been lost since the U.S. entered the international trading organization, but national interests have been undermined over and over again due to WTO decisions that usurp even the nation’s cherished constitution. Here are a few examples:

The administration has been mulling a possible W.T.O case against China in the auto sector since at least last winter, and has been encouraged by unions to do so, particularly the United Steel Workers.?

The United States has won an impressive string of victories against China at the World Trade Organization in the past few years but U.S. companies have seen only limited benefits, according to a review of the cases and interviews with analysts and officials familiar with them.
U.S. challenges, for example, have led to the repeal of Chinese import tariffs on American-made auto parts. But by the time the United States prevailed, China was well on its way — with the help of the protective tariffs — to developing its own industry for manufacturing engines, transmissions and other components, say U.S. auto industry officials. The repeal did little to stem the long-term movement of auto-parts work from the United States to China.
