But hey said machines need repair anywaysso that's a trade off.
But these are increasingly tech jobs and not manufacturing jobs. Tech jobs are not going away. The industry is growing. Overwhelmingly why people are against trade deals is that 40-50 year olds who have been in the manufacturing industry their whole lives are suddenly finding themselves with little or no income. The union jobs that paid them $30-40/hr are gone. They're not leaving, by and large, they are just gone.

They already can. Any corporation can currently sue the US government if they feel the government has impinged upon the rules that have been set out. This is such a huge red herring. Ever heard of Hobby Lobby? If the US government enters into a trade deal with agreed upon terms, any member in that trade deal may appeal to the selected arbitrator via suit if they feel the agreed upon terms have been violated.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
