Trade and Labour Standards

Brian McDonald

Chapter 26 in The World Trading System, 1998, pp 279-284 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The NAFTA discussions brought to the fore the question of low social conditions and standards in most developing countries. The fear was that with complete free trade between the United States and Mexico, US industry would invest heavily south of the border to take advantage of lower social costs, and that this would cost many US jobs and force a lowering of labour standards in the United States.
