Abstract
In response to an absence of effective methods of international labor standards regulation, International Framework Agreements (IFAs) have emerged as a strategy promote labor rights in transnational supply chains. This article analyzes IFAs, with particular attention given to their capacities to move beyond the weaknesses of unilateral corporate codes of conduct. By facilitating social dialogue between transnational corporations and global union federations, IFAs hold potential to involve unions and workers in transnational labor standards regulation.Yet they are weakened by a top-down approach that needs greater connection local union organizing. To move beyond their limitations, they must more effectively combine a transnational focus with traditional union strategies such as organizing and collective bargaining.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
