Description

The U.S. has signed 14 free trade agreements (FTAs), liberalizing U.S. trade with 20 countries. These FTAs include provisions regarding fundamental labor rights in the partner countries. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and the Dept. of Labor (DOL), supported by the Dept. of State, are responsible for monitoring and assisting FTA partners' implementation of these provisions. This examined (1) steps that selected partner countries have taken, and U.S. assistance they have received, to implement these provisions and other labor initiatives and the reported results of such steps; (2) submissions regarding possible violations of FTA labor provisions that DOL has accepted and any problems related to the submission process; and (3) the extent to which U.S. agencies monitor and enforce implementation of FTA labor provisions and report results to Congress. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
