Book excerpt: The report sets forth concrete recommendations to strengthen US trade accords' substantive labor provisions, proposing that all such agreements: unambiguously require all parties to uphold core labor rights in their domestic laws; penalize states that fail to enforce their labor laws in all cases involving trade or investment between the parties; punish corporations implicated in labor abuses; and depoliticize enforcement, in part, by requiring that meritorious labor complaints proceed through the complaint and dispute settlement processes unless they are satisfactorily resolved.
