Schauer Statement on U.S. House Approval of Assistance for Michigan Workers

"Workers in south central Michigan are skilled, hard-working, and critical to our economic recovery. They deserve the support and opportunities to succeed when unfair trade policies pull the rug out from under them through no fault of their own," said Schauer. "Today's bipartisan approval in the U.S. House to strengthen training and devote resources directly to those affected by outsourcing is a critical step toward helping them compete in a global economy. I'm disappointed in those who decided not to put American workers first by opposing this plan and hope the President will reconsider his threat to veto it."
