I don't think you have to worry too much about this. Although most trade agreements include rhetoric about labor laws, as with Mexico, it usually takes public heat and separate agreements to get anything done. Then the steps are small and slow coming. Ironically, since this board enjoys Arab bashing so much, Middle East countries have been among the best about reforming their laws without external pressure.
Companies are more likely to impose conditions, but then these are localised and far fewer companies work this way than you might imagine from the public claims. Don't forget that cheaper labor costs are only part of the third-world appeal: lest restrictive labor and environmental laws play a major role.
