Not if this is more about fair labor rights than fair business competition within the US. Domestically we can enforce minimum wage, foreignly we cannot. Import duties won't necessarily impact the wages of foreign laborers...
- giantg2 4y agoPart of their argument is about lower labor value due to increased supply. Making that foreign supply less attractive by making it cost the same could increase labor demand domestically.
- Rury 4y agoSure, import duties could help domestic businesses and potentially laborers for said businesses, but doesn't ensure domestic businesses would pay their workers a minimum wage even with increased business demand.
