Labor Voices: A new, pro-worker NAFTA

[ABFwife]

Have to agree with James on all points in this article!

The Trump administration in the next week will receive scores of comments on how to best revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement so it creates a pact built for a 21st century economy. And the Teamsters want to make sure there is a pathway to prosperity for millions of U.S. workers who were left behind in the deal’s first incarnation.

As I’ve stated before in this space, that doesn’t happen by opening the nation’s highways to Mexican-domiciled trucks and drivers that don’t meet American safety and certification standards. Motorists and the nation’s health have been jeopardized because of it. NAFTA 2.0 must strip such language out of any agreement.

Beyond that, however, there are many improvements that can be made that will help secure, and even grow, middle-class jobs in this country. The renegotiation of NAFTA is a historic opportunity. The U.S. has an opportunity to lead the way to replacing this flawed agreement with one that will set new priorities that put working families first.

The art of the deal. President Trump does the dealing and we all hope we're not left squealing from the feeling.
