BREXIT: AVIATION AGREEMENT MUST INCLUDE WORKER PROTECTIONSAviation Agreement • May 4th, 2018
Contract Type FiledMay 4th, 2018The labor movement has a long and committed record of advocating for strong labor provisions in U.S. trade agreements. In 2011 the U.S.-EU-Norway-Iceland air transport agreement included a landmark labor clause designed to protect labor standards as air services are liberalized under the agreement (Article 17 bis). Now, as the U.S. and U.K. negotiate a new air services agreement in the wake of the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union, a strong, enforceable, labor article must be included in the agreement.
