ILAB: USA: Ushering in a new era of American worker dominance in global supply chains. Stopping the egregious labor practices of our trading partners and foreign adversaries. Advancing the interests of American workers and enterprise on the global stage.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) increases American job and wage growth by combating foreign labor abuse and unfair trade practices in global supply chains that undermine U.S. prosperity and security. The bureau offers free self-assessment tools to help businesses strengthen their global supply chains. These voluntary resources can help American companies spot potential risks tied to unfair trade practices, safeguard valuable brand reputations, and stay competitive in global markets. By providing actionable data and guidance, ILAB seeks to equip businesses to take proactive steps to power U.S. job growth, support fair trade, and promote a level playing field for American workers and businesses.
