Summary
The Global Labor Support Act of 2021 seeks to elevate worker rights within U.S. foreign policy by establishing a new Ambassador-at-Large for Global Labor Rights to lead international diplomatic efforts. The bill would authorize the U.S. government to impose sanctions, including visa and asset blocks, on foreign individuals responsible for severe labor rights violations. Additionally, it requires more detailed annual reporting on labor conditions in countries receiving U.S. aid and creates a dedicated fund to support global worker safety and labor organizations.
