This chapter explores how labour issues are addressed in international trade agreements. It examines the reasons for including labour provisions, the history of their inclusion in trade agreements, and their effects on workers. Labour provisions are often included in trade agreements in response to the disruptions caused by international trade, to address the effects of trade agreements on workers, and to strengthen weak domestic labour protections. Despite the proliferation of labour provisions in trade agreements, their effects on workers’ lives are limited. The chapter concludes that labour provisions that directly target sites of production may be more effective in improving working conditions.
