The Honorable Mike Pence, Vice President of the United States, will address over 1,000 Manitowoc employees regarding the critical urgency to ratify the United States-Canada-Mexico Agreement (USMCA). Ratifying the USMCA will create jobs, secure access to the equipment manufacturing industry’s two largest export markets, and ensure North America’s manufacturing competitiveness.
Equipment manufacturers support 1.5 million jobs in the US and Canada. Overall, there are 12 million U.S. jobs across the country that are supported by trade with Canada and Mexico. A study by the United States International Trade Commission shows the USMCA would create an additional 176,000 U.S. jobs and add $68 billion to the U.S. economy.
