While the NAALC has fostered some degree of cooperation between member nations, it has not been judged to be very successful overall.

The other statements are all true: the NAALC is a side agreement of NAFTA that deals with labor principles, it can be difficult to sanction national governments for violations, it provides for arbitration of certain labor issues, and no worker has ever been reinstated nor has any financial sanction ever been imposed as a result of a NAALC case.
