NAFTA Enabling Workforce Abuses by U.S. Corporations
If there's any doubts about whether U.S. corporations are being assisted by our government through NAFTA...contact this organization and have a conversation with individuals experiencing exactly that...workforce abuse. Following is a segment from the Support Committee for Maquiladora Workers and a link to their site. This is a reality people. Our government has assisted U.S. corporations with NAFTA so they may decrease their labor costs...which has resulted in millions of American losing their jobs.

In their drive for higher profits, thousands of corporations have turned to Mexico in search of lower wages. South of the border they can also avoid health, safety and environmental restrictions, and representative Union Organizing. In Tijuana, workers arrive from the south of Mexico in search of a better life. Instead, they find that the U.S. and Asian owned plants barely provide enough to survive. With an average of $25-$35 for a 48-60 hour week, maquiladora workers cannot afford to rent housing, and must build their own shacks on land near the companies. The incidence of birth defects, miscarriages, and disease has shot up in these areas where plants have dumped their toxic wastes with abandon. Efforts to improve conditions have been met with brutal repression.
