The Labor Council of the USMCA discussed several topics, including "key labor policies on violence and discrimination in the workplace," as well as "cooperation and technical assistance projects," and "implementation of the USMCA’s provision related to imports produced with forced labor," at a meeting June 28-29 in Mexico City. The meeting included government representatives who oversee labor issues from all three member countries. The council also discussed "the USMCA’s Labor Chapter implementation and conferred on further opportunities to collaborate on labor priorities as a North America Region," the joint statement from the meeting said.
