Formal Establishment of International Labor Bureau: Fighting Forced Labor and Protecting Workers
This Act formally establishes the Bureau of International Labor Affairs within the U.S. Department of Labor, giving it a permanent structure and mission. The Bureau's goal is to protect labor rights globally, combat child and forced labor, and ensure fair competition for American businesses. This means the U.S. government will actively monitor and enforce labor standards in partner countries, indirectly protecting jobs in the United States from unfair competition.
Key points
Strengthening the fight against international child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking by formally authorizing the government agency.
