    Kerry, Edwards want NAFTA 'fixed,' not killed By Tom Diemer, Plain Dealer
    At a union hall in Dayton, Sen. John Kerry was pressed by a United Auto Workers shop steward seeking a promise that a President Kerry would stop U.S. jobs from being 'outsourced' to other countries.

    Kerry told the story freely during a Democratic candidates debate in Los Angeles Thursday night. 'I can't promise that,' he told the union man at a stop earlier this month.

    'Some of those jobs are going to go overseas, and I have been very honest about it,' he said of the quest of some American companies for lower production costs and cheaper labor offshore.
