As a part of its “Manufacturing Means Jobs!” campaign, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), in partnership with the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association (PMA), today announced the formation of a statewide manufacturing group to educate and inform candidates and members of Congress on key issues impacting manufacturing. This initiative is outlined in the NAM’s “Manufacturing Strategy for Jobs and a Competitive America.”
“As manufacturers, we know much is at stake. We need the right battle plan in order for manufacturing to continue to lead our economic recovery, create jobs and compete in the global marketplace,” said NAM Executive Vice President Jay Timmons. “Through our joint efforts, we will mobilize Pennsylvania’s manufacturers to ensure Congress and those seeking federal office take a comprehensive view of what policies are needed – and we will be asking them to join us in publicly supporting a pro-manufacturing agenda.”
