Burfisher, Mary E., Sherman Robinson, and Karen Thierfelder. "The Impact of NAFTA on the United States". Journal of Economic Perspectives, 15(1): (2001) 125–144.
This journal gives a detailed analysis about the effects of NAFTA during the 1990s. It also gives a synopsis on whether the deal had any positive implications. I could use this article to support my claim that NAFTA had a disastrous effect on the labor force. I could also use some of their data to back up my claim.
Hananel, Sam. “Membership in Unions continues to decline”. The Washington Times. January 23, 2011.
This website gives information based on the relative power of the unions in the U.S. and how they have declined. I could use this source as evidence that unions have declined dramatically over past few decades as a result of Free Trade. I could use this source as an argument that unions maintained middle class jobs.
