WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Carlos Giménez (FL-28) and Rep. Jennifer Wexton (VA-10) led the introduction of the bipartisan Uyghur Forced Labor Disclosure Act which would require publicly traded companies to review and disclose any links that their products may have to Uyghur forced labor in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It is estimated that over 100,000 Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities are forced to work in Xinjiang for goods ranging from clothing to technology, tainting our supply chains with forced labor.
