15 Dec Congressmen Donald McEachin, John Lewis call for Dramatic NAFTA Rewrite to End Outsourcing
Days after Congressman John Lewis stood with Nabisco workers and faith leaders in Washington to release the IWJ report on Mondelez/Nabisco outsourcing, Representatives Donald McEachin (D-Va.) and John Lewis (D-Ga.) have sent a joint letter to U.S. Trade Rep. Robert Lighthizer urging a dramatic NAFTA rewrite.
McEachin and Lewis are asking for strong, enforceable labor standards that raise wages in Mexico, reduce incentives for outsourcing to companies such as Mondelez/Nabisco, encourage domestic investment and support American jobs.
