THE COMMISSION FOR LABOR COOPERATION

The Commission for Labor Cooperation is an international organization created under the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC). The Commission is formed of a Council of Ministers, a cabinet-level body in charge of policy-setting and decision-making consisting of the three labor ministers or their representatives; and a trinational Secretariat that provides support to the Council and to the independent Evaluation Committees of Experts and Arbitral Panels the Council may establish under the provisions of the Agreement. The Commission works in close cooperation with the National Administrative Offices (NAOs), created by each government within their own labor ministry to implement the NAALC.
