We cannot "force" any other sovereign country to do anything (short of a shooting war or its equivalent). But we can certainly "incent" them with more favorable trade treatment for those who don't let, say, their metalworkers constantly plunge to their fiery deaths, or their chemical workers to get poisoned, etc.

Yes, that is what democrats want.
From the democrat, Martin Sabo's page:
"Unfortunately, Republican congressional leaders have made it clear they will protect patent rights for U.S. big businesses, but will not demand that our trading partners adequately pay their workers and provide humane working conditions. Without these worker protections, Americans are at a distinct competitive disadvantage and could be hit with job losses and lower wages. In short, if the Republican majority has its way, the interests of wealthy corporations will be protected in trade agreements, but workers will be left exposed. "
