On June 17, 2005, Rep. Kucinich offered an amendment to the United Nations Reform Act, which would strengthen the International Labor Organization (ILO). Specifically, this amendment would require the President to direct the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations to work to strengthen and expand the Social Protection sector of the ILO. An expanded Social Protection sector would allow the ILO to issue more field and regional units of the ILO, increase site inspections of working conditions, and issue more reports on such conditions to the international community. Unfortunately this amendment was defeated.
