American Workers deserve flexibility in their job opportunities, and Job Creators deserve transparency when determining wages paid to their Workers on specific tasks. Under @POTUS, we’re affirming both through @USDOL’s new field assistance bulletin on tipped requirements for workers. READ MORE on @WHD_DOL’s new guidance ⬇️ dol.gov/newsroom/releases/wh…

.@POTUS is unleashing AMERICAN ENERGY DOMINANCE — and @USDOL is ensuring we have the energy workforce we need to do it.    Through @MSHA_DOL, we’re investing $10.5 million in mine safety and training across 47 states, territories, and tribal lands.   These grants will help protect more than 300,000 miners by providing both new and experienced miners with the training they need to work safely and power America’s Energy Comeback. 🇺🇸 dol.gov/newsroom/releases/ms…

.@Ford is one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers employing thousands of hardworking Americans and its automobiles are the embodiment of MADE IN AMERICA. I toured its world headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan where the company has played a central role in Michigan’s automotive industry and manufacturing economy for more than a century and will continue to do so with a recently announced 3.3-million-square-foot complex expansion—fueling innovation with high-paying engineering and manufacturing jobs to accelerate vehicle development for years to come. 📍 Dearborn, Michigan

FEDCO is expanding in Michigan and investing in the American Workforce to do it. Today, I toured its Monroe facility with @RepWalberg, where the manufacturer of high-pressure pumps and water desalination technology is building a new 20,000-square-foot innovation center for research, product development, and technical training. Under @POTUS, the Working Families Tax Cuts are spurring an environment for growth—giving Job Creators the confidence to invest in America again. It was a pleasure to meet with FEDCO leaders to discuss how @USDOL is supporting this manufacturing comeback. 📍Monroe, Michigan

American Manufacturing is back under @POTUS and companies like Tailor Welded Blanks Company in Monroe, Michigan are leading the Manufacturing Renaissance in our country. I toured its headquarters with @RepWalberg and learned about the important work its doing to help automakers improve fuel efficiency, enhance vehicle safety, and lower manufacturing costs through state of the art laser welding technologies. Americans are driving automobiles MADE IN AMERICA again and TWB Company is helping make that possible. 📍 Monroe, Michigan

Fighting cancer starts with manufacturing the technology to effectively carry out the battle against this awful disease. I toured @NiowaveInc’s facility in Lansing, Michigan where the company’s $85 MILLION INVESTMENT will continue to fuel its manufacturing of radioisotope technology that’s producing life-saving isotopes for the development of targeted cancer therapies. Under @POTUS, the health of the American People is a top priority and if we’re boosting American Manufacturing to provide high-skilled, high-paying jobs in Michigan and throughout the country at the same time, that’s a win-win. 📍Lansing, Michigan

As new investments create new jobs thanks to @POTUS, @USDOL is making sure that local workers are able to fill these new high-skilled, high-paying jobs. It was great to be back in Lansing, Michigan with @RepTomBarrett to discuss how we are connecting educators and employers to provide students with the skills that match the needs of local job creators.

From improving production efficiency to enhancing workplace safety, @FANUCAmerica is the leading provider of industrial robotics and with its $90 MILLION investment to expand Michigan operations, manufacturing is growing throughout the state because of it.
