To foster fair global trade, we must end “cheap labor Republican” policies that out-source jobs and encourage offshore tax shelters. Trade policy must combat child and slave labor, sweatshops, environmental degradation and other practices that turn global trade into a race to the bottom. We recognize the value of trade with our neighbor Mexico and the world. A reformed trade policy should “level up” wages and working conditions by ensuring that foreign workers share in their country’s economic gains and become customers for American goods.
