Regional Collective Bargaining in North America. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Feb 2009, Pages: 276
“Regional Collective Bargaining in North America: An
alternative for balancing trade and labor
prerogatives” makes an analysis of the relationship
between international trade and the protection of
labor rights. It features the evolution of domestic,
regional and international labor efforts,and why
labor standards (or the lack thereof) existing in
today’s global economy ultimately fail to protect
workers’ rights. This work presents the
implementation and effectiveness of NAFTA and its
parallel labor compromise, the North American
Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC). NAALC is
compared with other international labor alternatives
like the ILO and the European Labor
Law. Enlarging the scope and improving the
enforcement means of NAALC, as well as the
implementation of North American Regional Frameworks
negotiated by employer, union and government
regional representatives are proposed to improve
the protection of labor rights in the region. This
proposal is supported with a profound analysis of
the collective bargaining legal framework that is
enforceable in each of the NAFTA countries.
