"Card check" legislation and a newly re-introduced bill offering tax incentives for safety technology were two key issues for heavy-duty suppliers attending the Motor Equipment Manufacturers Association annual Legislative Summit last week.
More than 100 supplier industry representatives attended MEMA's Legislative Summit on April 29-30. Summit participants heard from government and industry leaders and meet 75 House and Senate offices on issues including card check, energy policy, and technology incentives. The two-day event featured speeches and presentations from key government and industry leaders, including Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, Rep. Sander Levin, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce president Tom Donohue.
"These are critical times for all parts suppliers and this is a very critical time to be reaching out to our elected officials," said Bob McKenna, president and CEO of MEMA. "We were very pleased to continue the dialogue on the challenges facing our industry and the solutions needed to move the industry, and the economy, forward."
