05 Sep AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka Meets with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador

Posted at 15:37h in AFL-CIO, NAFTA by

In a historic meeting yesterday, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka met with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to discuss significant flaws in the proposed new NAFTA agreement. As Trumka told reporters last week, the deal is still not enforceable as written. In particular, Mexico has yet to demonstrate that it has the resources and infrastructure to follow through on its promised reforms.

“We need President López Obrador to show us how Mexico will guarantee the right to raise wages through free and democratic unions,” he said ahead of the trip. “If that doesn’t happen, working people across North America will continue to suffer.”
