Team,

Any trade deal must first and foremost benefit American workers. Yet since 1993, our country’s workforce has suffered because of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to the tune of almost one million American jobs lost. In South Jersey alone we’re down 20,000 manufacturing jobs, which is simply unacceptable.

It’s clear to me that NAFTA should be replaced.

But “NAFTA 2.0” that President Donald Trump agreed to last year won’t stop the devastation of ongoing job outsourcing. And, adding insult to injury, the deal was rigged by pharmaceutical companies, leading to higher drug prices.

We can’t just slap a coat of paint on NAFTA and say we fixed it. We need to make sure there are strong labor provisions in place that allow workers in every country to lift themselves up. Unless NAFTA 2.0’s labor terms are greatly improved, the race-to-the-bottom outsourcing will continue.

To read more about NAFTA 2.0 and how Trump has failed again to deliver on his pledges to workers, read my op-ed in the South Jersey Times.

For me, the solution is clear; let’s course correct for the sake of working families.
