U.S. workers opposed NAFTA's ratification in 1992 mainly due to fears of job losses, lower wages, and environmental degradation. Labor unions highlighted concerns that companies would relocate to Mexico, thus impacting American employment. The perception that NAFTA would benefit corporate interests at the expense of workers further fueled opposition to the agreement.
