Dems want adjustments to Peru trade pact
Democratic members of the House of Representatives say they want to see labor standards inserted into the U.S. Trade Promotion Agreement (TPA).
'We are dismayed that the administration has consistently declined to take the simple steps necessary to address our key outstanding concern, which continues to be labor standards, and the remedy serious flaws in the TPA's labor provisions,' a group of Democratic representatives said in a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab.
The letter said Peruvian law is not in conformity with International Labor Organization standards.
The U.S. and Peru have signed a trade agreement, but it still needs to be approved by Congress.
