Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Wednesday argued that Democrats are giving AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka too much sway in talks on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“How ironic. We are talking about a trade deal that would create more American jobs, and Democrats are considering outsourcing their judgment to Big Labor special interests — who, to my recollection, have not supported a single major trade deal in living memory,” McConnell said on the Senate floor.
This comes after Trumka met with House Democrats on USMCA, noting that changes are still needed in the trade deal to get his union to back the deal.
Meanwhile, Mexico’s Congress delayed the government’s 2020 spending bill, which includes proposed funds to implement the labor reforms required under the USMC
