Yvanna Cancela, political director of the Culinary Workers Local 226, which represents 55,000 workers, said her union stands with others in opposing the trade agreement. But she said the trade issue isn’t likely to directly affect her members.
“We haven’t widely discussed it within the membership,” she said. “In prioritizing our political discussions, people want to hear about what affects them and their families.”
