its basically the bait they wave in front of developing countries which desperately need jobs. They hope to use them to lower wages, and in many cases replace workers in developed countries- due to the workers from elsewhere being cheaper.
they will do this by means of trade deals such as TiSA, GATS and TTIP forcing privatization of big chunks of the public sector and then putting it up for international bidding,
The schemes use restrictions barring whats now being framed as discrimination against foreign corporations in government spending to switch spending to use international procurement systems -
e-portals - competitive bidding where the lowest qualified bidder wins.

The Clintons, particularly Bill Clinton were a key figures in setting up this global scheme.
