Mr Obama decided that the Senate was, in fact, in recess, and appointed three members to the NLRB, which adjudicates
American labour disputes and requires a quorum of at least three members to do its work.

For years, trade and justice activists have proposed renegotiating the North
American Free Trade Agreement to address some of the deal's most damaging features: for example, by removing the anti-democratic investor - state
dispute settlement provisions of Chapter 11, linking trade benefits to genuine protections for human and
labour rights (all the more important given the deteriorating democratic situation in Mexico), and establishing a continent - wide strategy for auto investment and production. We were always told that renegotiating NAFTA was a pipe dream: it would not be possible to open the text and get all three countries on board with reforms, no matter how legitimate the concerns.
