Letter: Labor Caucus Calls for Stronger Labor Standards in USMCA Joint Review

November 4, 2025   |   Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Labor Caucus Co-Chairs Reps. Debbie Dingell (MI-06), Mark Pocan (WI-02), Donald Norcross (NJ-01), and Steven Horsford (NV-04) led 65 House Democrats in a letter urging US Trade Representative Greer to use the 2026 joint review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to improve labor standards and address the continued offshoring of good jobs.

“As part of the Joint Review, we urge you to use this process to improve labor standards under the USMCA and address the continued offshoring of good jobs and critical productive capacity so that the Agreement truly supports American workers,” wrote the lawmakers. “The USMCA was an improvement over the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as it relates to labor standards for workers across North America, but the Agreement was always intended to be a floor, and not a ceiling.”
