Statement on appointment of Ron Bloom as assistant to the president for manufacturing policy
Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) Executive Director Scott Paul gave the following statement regarding President Obama's elevation of Ron Bloom to the position of assistant to the president for manufacturing policy:
"The Alliance for American Manufacturing enthusiastically welcomes the announcement today of Ron Bloom being elevated to the position of assistant to the president for manufacturing policy. No one knows the intersection of Wall Street, company board rooms, how things work on the shop floor, and economic policy better than Ron, who demonstrated his skill and know-how in helping to lead the auto industry recovery effort.
"Ron's intellect and perspective are much-needed at a time when Congress and the Administration turn their attention to creating good manufacturing jobs in America. We share Ron's interest and ability in bringing labor and business together to solve problems, and we look forward to working with him in his new capacity to strengthen our economy."
