Caribbean Basin: Worker Rights Progress Made, but Enforcement Issues Remain

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed allegations of worker rights abuses that have persisted in the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI) apparel industry, focusing on: (1) whether or not Caribbean Basin countries have made efforts to improve worker rights in the CBI apparel industry; (2) what efforts the private sector has made to address concerns about working conditions in CBI countries; and (3) updated information about U.S. apparel imports from CBI countries.
