Abstract

On July 1, 2020, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) entered into force, replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This new treaty introduced innovations in several areas, including its labor chapter.  This essay aims at outlining the current academic debate about the shortcomings of the USMCA in relation to its labor provisions.
