    Summary note
    "This book assesses the effectiveness of the North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation (NAALC) since 1994 by examining the operation of its Secretariat and National Administrative Offices. It focuses on the main functions of these institutions - hearing public submissions on violations of labour laws, and conducting research and cooperative activities. The analysis stresses NAALC's impact on trans-national bureaucratic interactions and non-governmental linkages between trade unions and allied actors in civil society."--Jacket.
