“The concerns that our members have are workers rights, the environment and issues related to pharmaceuticals,” Pelosi said. “The overarching concern that we have is – even if you have the best language in the world in that , if you don’t have enforcement, you ain’t got nothin’. ... You have to have strong enforcement provisions.”
Democratic lawmakers say the deal must ensure workers in Mexico have the right to organize, a step that would require new Mexican labor laws. They believe a major weakness of NAFTA was that it allowed Mexican wages to stagnate. “When you don’t have strong enforcement provisions, you are essentially facilitating the outsourcing of jobs and bad worker protections and undercutting of U.S. workers,” Representative Pramila Jayapal said last month.“One of the things that the Mexican government has to do before we can even consider it, is to pass legislation about workers’ rights in Mexico,” she said.
