Question

If you were the president of the United States and trying to negotiate better labor standards for NAFTA, what new provisions might you try and negotiate (at least from the United States perspective)?

Answer 1

US has made public the summary of the contents on labor standards during the discussions on modernizing the North American Free Trade Agreement as top administrators from Canada, US and Mexico gathered for talks in Ottawa. U.S. has confirmed that the labor proposal would make sure enforceable mechanisms to elevate the labor standards in the NAFTA.

U S has put forward a comprehensive scheme that substitutes the original NAFTA’s approach on labor with enforceable stipulations to help employees across US which comprises of taking assurance from Mexico and Canada to value collective bargaining and other significant labor standards

Thus US with reliable and steady labor policies and approach have aimed to ask for a commitment from the NAFTA member nations to implement and preserve procedures while putting into practice the globally acknowledged labor rights and efficiently put into effect their individual labor regulations with reference to those privileges.

US have asked to develop efficient mechanism for discussions and collaborations to support the competencies of the NAFTA members to help them endorse admiration for globally accepted labor privileges comprising those personified in the ILO Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and ILO Convention on Worst Forms of Child Labor and to efficiently put into effect their individual labor laws.
