UAW Applauds USTR for Taking on Race to the Bottom with New Section 301 Investigations

“The UAW is glad to see the U.S. Trade Representative taking on companies and countries using wage suppression and anti-union laws,” said UAW President Shawn Fain, in response to new Section 301 investigations announced by the United States Trade Representative. “For decades, we’ve let companies offshore good jobs from the U.S. to countries where workers have no rights and are denied a living wage. Right now, we still have factories closing and leaving the country while the working class suffers the consequences. Instead of driving a race to the bottom, we need a trade policy that puts workers first.”
