President Obama visits Master Lock to discuss American Manufacturing and the importance of insourcing jobs
President Obama visited Master Lock’s Milwaukee manufacturing plant yesterday, where he received a tour of the facility and led a discussion on the economy, American manufacturing and the importance of companies insourcing and investing in America. The president has recognized Master Lock several times in recent months for moving jobs back to the United States from China.
During his remarks today, President Obama acknowledged Master Lock for “making the most of a huge opportunity” to bring manufacturing jobs back to America and cited the company as “a proud example of what can happen when unions and employers work together to create good jobs.” Since mid-2010, Master Lock has brought back approximately 100 union jobs to its Milwaukee factory.
