Leslie is rejoined by Scott N. Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.
Here are the main items the two discussed:
-As Walmart kicks off its annual U.S. Manufacturing Summit in Arkansas on Tuesday, how is it doing in its 10-year commitment to purchase $250 billion in American-made goods. Also, how is it portraying it's progress in this area compared to reality.
-How Walmart's mass imports of Chinese goods cost the U.S. 400,000 jobs between 2001 and 2013.
-How even though you may think you have an American made car, there's a way to tell how American made it really is (something that Scott reveals to the audience while on air)
The website for the Alliance for American Manufacturing is www.AmericanManufacturing.org and their Twitter handle is @KeepitMadeinUSA. Scott's handle is @ScottPaulAAM.
