Chapter 23, exclusively dedicated to labor protection, has been widely described as one of the most distinctive features of the new US–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA). This paper challenges the current narrative surrounding the USMCA by critically analysing Chapter 23 of the agreement, looking at the legal innovative design of its substantive commitments of labour protection and their enforceability. In light of this objective, a comparative analysis will be conducted. The provisions of Chapter 23 USMCA will be compared with labour provisions in previous US Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs), namely, the NAFTA side agreement on labour rights and the TPP. Second, a comparative analysis will be conducted comparing USMCA Chapter 23 with labour provisions in EU Trade Agreements negotiated with USMCA parties. The paper demonstrates that although the USMCA does not radically innovate from the level of substantive labour protection reached in recent US and EU PTAs, the enforcement mechanism in the USMCA is significantly strengthened, with controversial and innovative features.

USMCA下的劳工权利保护及其执行:比较法律分析的见解

第 23 章专门针对劳动保护,被广泛描述为新的美国-墨西哥-加拿大协议 (USMCA) 的最显着特征之一。本文通过批判性地分析该协议的第 23 章来挑战当前围绕 USMCA 的叙述,着眼于其劳动保护实质性承诺及其可执行性的法律创新设计。根据这一目标,将进行比较分析。USMCA 第 23 章的规定将与之前的美国优惠贸易协定 (PTA) 中的劳工条款进行比较,即 NAFTA 关于劳工权利的附带协议和 TPP。其次,将进行比较分析,将 USMCA 第 23 章与与 USMCA 各方谈判的欧盟贸易协定中的劳工条款进行比较。
