WiM Mentioned in an AP Story about Manufacturers Seeking Women Workers

Hình ảnh
WiM was mentioned in a new AP article on manufacturers' efforts to recruit women employees. The article says, "Some companies in need of welders, machinists and other skilled workers are now targeting women, who account for nearly half of the U.S. workforce but hold less than a third of the nation’s 12.2 million manufacturing jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics." Pointing to a report by the National Women's Law Center, the article notes that "women’s share of manufacturing jobs peaked in the early 1990s, and remained mostly unchanged until the recession." One reason for this problem?  The writer points to another piece of research: "A ... survey done for Women in Manufacturing, a nonprofit industry group, found that women ages 17 to 24 tended to see the industry as male-dominated and dull." Read the full article to see how companies like Harley-Davidson and others are working to fight stereotypes that keep young women away.

Guest Post: Funds Investing in U.S. Manufacturing Companies: Foreign Investor Considerations

Hình ảnh
Here's the next post in a series of guest pieces provided by WiM supporter, Foley & Lardner LLP. ----------- Funds Investing in U.S. Manufacturing Companies: Foreign Investor Consideration s By Annette De La Torre and Jamshed Patel Operators of manufacturing companies, especially those considering a sale or capital raise, should understand investors’ concerns regarding direct investment. Today, investment funds with investors and investments in multiple jurisdictions constitute a large part of the U.S. manufacturing direct investment landscape. However, tax challenges exist for these fund managers and investors. The tax treatment of foreign investors depends largely on the type of income generated by a fund. For example, assume that an investment fund is structured as a domestic limited partnership , with both U.S. and foreign investors. Further, assume that the fund acquires a U.S.-based manufacturing company, which is also structured as a domestic limited partnership. Unless

Guest Post: EPA Advocacy Can Add Value to a Manufacturer’s Bottom Line

Here's the next post in a series of guest pieces provided by WiM supporter, Foley & Lardner LLP. ----------- EPA Advocacy Can Add Value to a Manufacturer’s Bottom Line By Sarah Slack Whether you’re manufacturing widgets or rubber bands, paper products or cheese, one thing most manufacturers have in common is being subject to various regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) . Manufacturers often experience regulation as an imposition of new, stringent requirements that drive up operational costs. However, there are opportunities to engage in the regulatory process that allow manufacturers to participate in the development of the rules they must follow. In his book, “ Effective EPA Advocacy ,” Richard Stoll , elected this year as a Fellow in the American College of Environmental Lawyers, breaks down the processes by which EPA develops its rules and policies. He also outlines how companies can become involved in shaping the regulations and policies that affect th

APPI Energy Outlook for 2015

Hình ảnh
APPI Energy, an Affinity Partner of ours, has put together a great energy outlook piece for 2015. As the weather turns colder, it isn't all snowmen and hot chocolate, APPI reminds us. "Last winter’s extremely cold temperatures caused high energy costs for unprepared customers, some of whom are still feeling repercussions today," the consulting firm says in the piece posted on their website . And the same may be coming this year.  According to APPI, "Weather forecasters are predicting another cold winter in the U.S. Below-normal temperatures are expected to encompass two-thirds of the U.S., particularly the East Coast and Gulf Coast." So APPI encourages readers to think ahead.  "If extreme cold weather forecasts are accurate," the piece says, "electricity consumers should prepare for the risk of more electricity price volatility."  To plan for price fluctuations, APPI offers several recommendations: "Energy consumers are encouraged to mi
