Meanwhile, a coalition of groups -- the ones who favor "fair trade not free trade" -- are putting heat on the Democratic candidates to pledge to do more to protect U.S. interests and American jobs when negotiating trade agreements. They made a big splash Tuesday, the 10th anniversary of the North American Free Trade Agreement that organized labor loves to hate.
