Secure new commitments to strengthen worker rights and improve enforcement of labor protections in USMCA.
Occurrences
Evidence
Sanchez and House Ways and Means Democrats said the July 2026 USMCA review should 'secure new commitments to strengthen worker rights' and improve enforcement, including stronger monitoring and enforcement of labor rights and environmental protections.
USTR said the first bilateral round of the USMCA joint review had concluded and that talks would continue on June 16-17 and again in July, indicating the review and any new commitments were still in process.
Assessments
The evidence shows Linda T. Sánchez was actively pushing for new USMCA worker-rights and enforcement commitments during the 2026 review, but it does not show that those commitments were actually secured. The official USTR update also says the review was still in progress, so the promised outcome has not been demonstrated as delivered yet.
