ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Looks at recent complaints under the labour chapters of three US trade agreements, the CAFTA-DR, the US-Bahrain and the US-Peru FTAs. Analyses the way both labour unions and the competent authorities in the United States have used or relied on the comments of the ILO's supervisory bodies in the submission process related to the sanction mechanisms of labour provisions.
