Teamsters Joint Council 7 President Rome Aloise and U.S. Rep. Pete Stark are speaking out in support of the "Bring Jobs Home Act," which would end tax cuts for corporations that move jobs overseas.
Aloise joined Stark in a news conference Tuesday at Tri-Ced Community Recycling in Union City, Calif., to urge Congress to pass the bill.
The California Labor Fed's Labor's Edge blog reported the event was held at Tri-Ced because the company's CEO, Richard Valle, keeps jobs here in the U.S. and makes sure they're strong, union jobs.
Aloise said,
Without a strong middle class this country is never going to come back to the greatness we all remember from years ago... We are hoping Congress and the Senate get through the bipartisanship and push this bill through.
Stop giving companies a tax break when they leave, and start giving them an incentive to bring jobs home and create jobs here. That’s what we have to do.The Senate is expected to vote on the "Bring Jobs Home Act" during the week of July 16. You can do your part by telling your senators to vote "yes."
