Bureau of International Labor Affairs Authorization Act
This bill formally establishes the Bureau of International Labor Affairs within the U.S. Department of Labor. It defines the Bureau's mission to promote global labor rights, combat child/forced labor and trafficking, support trade agreement enforcement, and deploy labor attachés to U.S. diplomatic posts. The bill requires the Bureau to submit annual reports to Congress on its activities, including anti-trafficking efforts and labor attaché deployments. It does not create new policy or funding but authorizes the structural framework for existing international labor work.
