Have you had a chance to read farther down the thread? A fellow protectionist points-out that our labor laws will now be approved by the ILO. So which is it? Free trade creates sweatshops in Latin America, or free trade imposes global workers' rights laws on us?

In the CAFTA agreement the countries get to make their own rules and have sole enforcement authority within their borders. So, they can use below standard wages for their countries, then fine themselves some money.

Some of the tariffs are relaxed after 15 years.
