The Central America Free Trade Agreement is in trouble, and to get it through Congress, the Bush administration is edging toward protectionism. The administration would be better off focusing on improving labor conditions in the six Latin American countries affected by the agreement...Many Democrats object to the labor provisions of CAFTA because the agreement commits the signatories to follow their own labor laws rather than the standards of the International Labor Organization. While the laws in Central America do not follow the standards in every particular, they still are comprehensive. The key issue isn't so much changing the laws as making sure they are enforced.
