| contents | The trade-labour relationship in light of the WTO Appellate Body’s embrace of pluralism Joanna Langille Labour lawyers have raised concerns that the law of the WTO has the potential to limit Member states’ ability to respond to violations of (international) labour rights/standards, both at home and abroad. But the Appellate Body has interpreted WTO law to ‘permit pluralism,’ preserving Members’ right to regulate. This jurisprudence has carved out ‘policy space’ for Members, broadened the scope of doctrinal exceptions, and blunted the force of disciplines that seek deep integration through regulatory coordination/coherence. These moves mean that numerous labour-protecting measures are likely legal under WTO law, diminishing the potential conflict between multilateral trade law and labour law. 10.1111/ilr.12184 DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/ilr.12184 publication.journalArticle |
