    Or tariffs on countries with terrible labour policies. It’s always annoyed me that labour is never involved in free trade negotiations and the stuff that makes it in are requirements for standardisation or intellectual property, but never anything about labour standards.

    Of course, that’s by design, because all of those things are neoliberal constructs and the whole point of those is to break labour power, but it’s disappointing you never even see anyone pay lip service to anything like that.

        I thought I was adding to the conversation by mentioning free trade agreements, but ok.
