Specifically, the Members of Congress told Lighthizer to end the outsourcing of good-paying American jobs by negotiating for strong labor standards that end wage suppression and support increased labor rights for Mexican workers.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">“The suppression of wages and lack of labor rights continue to result in the outsourcing of U.S. manufacturing jobs and low wage growth,” <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">wrote the Members of Congress.</strong> “Low wages, a lack of independent unions and an inability for workers to collectively bargain in Mexico have hurt American workers and led to the outsourcing of jobs to Mexico. Increasing labor rights in Mexico will help workers there climb out of poverty, and also protect American jobs and wages from a race to the bottom.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">“Any new NAFTA must have strong, clear and binding provisions that address Mexico’s labor conditions,” <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">continued the Members of Congress.</strong> “Given the ingrained resistance to labor rights in Mexico, we must demand real and identifiable progress on labor reforms take place before Congress votes on a renegotiated NAFTA.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">The full letter is available <a href="https://delauro.house.gov/sites/delauro.house.gov/files/USTR%20NAFTA%20Letter%201.23.2018.pdf" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(85, 140, 193); text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out 0s; -webkit-transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out 0s;" class="">here</a>.</p><p align="center" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" class="">###</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="">
