Project 2025's plan to make Medicare Advantage the default option would give corporations even more power and strip doctors and patients of the freedom to make decisions about what care enrollees can or cannot receive.

Department of Labor and Related Agencies

• Eliminate all forms of forced or compulsory labor.
• Protect workers’ rights to organize and participate voluntarily in a union without employer interference or discrimination.
• Create a rapid-response mechanism to provide for an independent panel investigation of denial of labor rights at covered facilities.
• Shift the burden of proof by presuming that an alleged violation affects trade and investment, unless otherwise demonstrated.
For future authorizations of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), the President should urge Congress to:
• Create mechanisms for supply-chain transparency. • Institute a general prohibition on forced labor conditions.
Investigate Foreign Labor Violations That Undermine American Workers. The United States’ embrace of globalization has exposed American workers to unfair competition from nations with cheap, abundant, and often exploited labor. American workers have, as a consequence, seen their earning power erode. While negotiating stronger trade agreements with robust labor provisions should be the primary tool with which to regulate international labor competition, the federal government can also take steps to identify the worst labor abuses and rule breakers. DOL’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) plays a critical role in monitoring and enforcing the labor provisions of U.S. trade agreements and trade preference programs as well as investigating child labor and human trafficking violations.
• The next Administration should focus ILAB investigations on foreign labor violations that do the most to damage American workers’ earning power, specifically regimes that engage in child and forced labor, fail to protect workers’ organizing rights, and permit hazardous or otherwise exploitative working conditions.
Alternative/Additional View. Conservatives share a belief in protecting and promoting American workers and their families and orienting international policies with Americans’ interests first. Some conservatives believe that the best way to put America first is by making America more attractive. In addition to restrictions imposed on other countries, removing existing barriers to American manufacturing, employment, and commerce can help American workers, entrepreneurs, and families.
