The UAW has launched an all-out campaign to stop permanent Normal Trade Relations (formerly Most Favored Nation) status for China. The UAW strongly opposes the recently negotiated U.S.-China trade agreement to get China into the World Trade Organization. The agreement contains no protections for worker and human rights. Nor does it have adequate protections against import surges that cause job losses for U.S. workers. Even administration officials concede the deal would increase the already record-shattering U.S. trade deficit with China. For these reasons, the UAW and our progressive allies are asking the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to stand with us and oppose permanent NTR status for China. Instead, we are asking Congress to continue its current practice of reviewing China’s NTR status annually.
