NAFTA was not good for Mexico workers because NAFTA was not fair with the workers and the didn't give them any respect. NAFTA had Mexican workers work in a crowded warehouse. The North American free trade agreement says expand and secure markets for goods and services,new employment in opportunities and improve working conditions,enhance,enforce and protect workers rights in the agreement It says things about workers twice so it proves workers are not that important to NAFTA. NAFTA lets there American workers work at space full places ant they work with technology and they let there Mexican workers work in crowded warehouses and the have to do every thing by hand no technology. Mexican workers have formed many unions but many of the Mexican workers got fired. NAFTA did not keep there promise to help the workers.

They are but at the same time they are not !! The way they help them is by giving them jobs . The way they don't is that they don't get paid well and it will s to crowded in there and the conditions are bad . If they would get paid more and had more space with air conditioning it would be better !!❣❤️
NAFTA is good for the American workers because it strengthen the special bonus of friendship and corporation among their nations.Four ways workers will benefit from NAFTA is strengthen, contribate, and create establish. Before the NAFTA it took effect in 1994. Maquiladora in 1965. NAFTA could also be bad because NAFTA has not kept there promises.
Nafta was bad for Mexican workers because nafta only has 2 promises for workers out of 11(document A). Nafta is bad for workers because the workers don't get paid enough( document D).
The competitiveness of their firms in global nations. Canada,United States of America, United Mexican States, it is a free trade agreement. New employment oppertunities and improve. A premble is an introduction,usually to a formal document.

There are also signs that government and the factories are concluding to punish alligators.The names of the workers who asked to form a union were supposed to be secret but after they submitted the petition,90 workers were fired , 75 of whom had sighned the petition.

The NAFTA is a good idea, because when negotiations for NAFTA began in 1991, the goal for all three countries was the integration of Mexico with the highly developed, high-wage economies of the United States and Canada. The Maquiladora Program began in 1965, &
NAFTA took effect in 1994, that mean it grew. So it kind of worked because the NAFTA didn't keep all its promises.
😒
I think NAFTA is not good for mexican workers because some of the them dont even paied a lot. Some people need money to feed their families. Some are even working in factories. People even work a making clothes.

NAFTA was not good for Mexican workers' because in the 11 promises that NAFTA had, only 2 go to Mexican workers (Doc A). Also, many women and men, more than 70 of them, were fired on December 9,2015 (Doc F). Some people didn't get paid enough for there family's of eat like Sergio Martinez (Doc E).

Yes nafta was good for Mexican workers because nafta had jobs on border lines which gives the Mexicans an opportunity on having a job they also have a lot of jobs like office work or clothing work they both provide a lot of people they have any type of jobs you would want the growth before nafta was slow but the growth after nafta was fast the growth before nafta was 0.5 million workers but the growth after nafta was at 2.0 after just 34 years nafta can imporve just by not only putting job opportunities at borders but at airports and not just Mexico a lot of other countries

NAFTA WAS NOT GOOD FOR MEXICO BECAUSE PEOPLE GET PAID A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND THE GOVERNMENT IS NOW RAISING THE COST OF MANY ITEMS IN THE STORES.NOW THIER ARE LESS WORKERS BECAUSE THEY DONT GET PAID A FAIR AMOUNT.

I think that NAFTA is bad for American workers because only have 2 promises and the others have something else. Also the good thing is that is education.

NAFTA was not good for Mexican workers because NAFTA doesn't keeps its promises to the Mexican works. NAFTA says they will strengthen the development & enforcement laws & regulations, also that they will provide protection & enforce basic workers rights. NAFTA did not help improve Sergio Martinez with his living conditions, his family is still living in a dirty place, his children have to walk miles just to get an education.
