U.S.-Colombia labor plan needed for trade deal: Baucus
(Reuters) - A top senator on Friday urged the United States and Colombia to quickly craft a plan to resolve concerns about workers rights and anti-union violence that have long blocked approval of a free trade pact.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, in a speech to the American Chamber of Commerce in Bogota, said he was committed to winning approval this year of the trade deal, which is strongly opposed by U.S. labor groups.
