British trade unions and activists are launching a nationwide campaign to raise awareness against the “dangers” of the planned Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) for the public health sector. They are asking the government to scrap the EU-US trade deal altogether.
Launched by War on Want, a human rights group, the protests against TTIP start today (8 July) in Birmingham, and will end on 12 July, with a march from the UK's Department of Business, to the EU headquarters in London.
In the run-up to the next round of trade talks between the EU and the US, the rights organization want to inform British citizens about plans to privatise the National Health Service (NHS), and the “irreversible effect” they claim TTIP would have on the health sector.
