Analysis of the NAALC"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The North American Agreement on Labour Conditions (NAALC) is the first of its kind: it is a parallel agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). For the first time, an economic convention is linked to a labour rights accord. First this paper shortly presents the NAFTA. Then we have a look at the NAALC objectives. Furthermore its structure is analysed and evaluated as well a as a concrete case of labour rights violation and the NAFTA reaction. In the fifth part Covalence data gives a general view of the labour rights situation in Mexico.
