In this hour Leslie is joined by Fred Redmond, International Vice President of the United Steelworkers.
Canadian negotiators are demanding the United States roll back so-called "right to work" laws as part of the renegotiation of the North American free-trade agreement. The request is part of a push by Ottawa to get the U.S. and Mexico to adopt higher labor standards under the deal.
Fred believes it’s important to have new language for labor standards in a new NAFTA; however, it must be paired with actual penalties when countries fail to meet those standards, such as border adjustment taxes on exports.
