NAFTA - Igrid Nygard's Strategic Papers

Nygard was one of a number of people with influence who were pushing for trade liberalization to allow US and Canadian companies to do their manufacturing overseas, particularly in Mexico. The Makila Solidarity Network published a position paper analyzing the trade agreement and it's likely impact on laborers. And the manufacturer they chose to highlight in order to analyze this was Nygard. "I'm just trying to figure out why I've never heard of this brand before," she says.
