Schumer visited one of Rochester's major employers, Klein Steel, and pushed to preserve and strengthen the “Buy America” program that helps protect good-paying American jobs. Schumer explained that a provision, with wide bi-partisan support to make permanent the “Buy America” requirement for federally-funded water and sewer infrastructure projects, was initially included in the Senate’s Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) but was stripped from the final bill at the last minute by the House of Representatives. As a result, the “Buy America” provision is now set to expire next year, pulling the rug out from under Klein Steel and opening the door for foreign-made steel products to undercut jobs in Rochester and across the country. Schumer said he plans to oppose any efforts in Congress that would seek to roll back this vital provision and will instead fight to strengthen this law by making the “Buy-America” provision permanent – and to require that US-produced steel components be used for water and sewer infrastructure upgrade projects. "}}
