USW International President Leo W. Gerard joined U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today in calling for “Buy America” enforcement provisions in the upcoming stimulus legislation.

“This is about jobs and putting our economy on the right track,” said Brown. “Buy America provisions will ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars go toward the creation of U.S. jobs.”

“Those opposing economic patriotism are all on the wrong side of history.
