Nothing more energizing than being in a room full of distribution leaders embracing AI, automation, analytics, and new technologies to build a smarter, more efficient supply chain. An industry often unseen is driving innovation in real time. Proud to kick off #NAWSHIFT in Denver.

[Eric Hoplin @EricHoplin]

The Working Families Tax Cut is helping distributors do what they’ve always done: build strong companies by investing in strong teams. That’s good policy. And more importantly, it’s good for American workers. https://t.co/A7JSnZcnY6

Excellent overview of NAW's recent win in our Oregon EPR case and the implications for the other coastal states who have passed similar laws.

"If Oregon loses, the aftershocks could reach every state that has tied its packaging system to the same foundation.” https://t.co/yhVk9kmggD

[Eric Hoplin @EricHoplin]

This is a major win for NAW member companies who have been dramatically impacted by the exorbitant fees imposed under the law by the Circular Action Alliance, NAW looks forward to presenting its case on the merits when the Court hears our case on July 13.

These findings underscore that over the past decade workers have not realized gains from aggressive union leader tactics. In fact, the opposite trend is clear: the least unionized workers have seen greater wage growth.
