CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Democratic presidential contender John Edwards called for pro-worker provisions in trade deals and greater investment to aid displaced workers as he offered his trade policy on Monday.

Campaigning in Iowa, Edwards said the economy is growing and productivity is at an all-time high, but wages aren't keeping pace with the increased costs of education, health care and retirement. He blamed technological change and globalization, as well as outdated labor and workplace laws for a system that is benefiting the wealthiest and shortchanging workers.
