The Jordanian Government has taken steps to fix its human trafficking problem but not because of the enforcement tools available in the trade agreement. it is only because of the pressure from world opinion. There is more work to do in Jordan. Last week. it was reported that workers at a Jordanian factory. working under a subcontract. are being threatened with forced deportation after striking to protest the imprisonment of six coworkers. The National Labor committee. which has done extraordinary investigative work in Jordan. reports that the factory owner threatened to also cut off workers food and water. This is the kind of country we pass trade agreements with which clearly has no regard for its workers. although in this case they were imported workers from somewhere else.
