WASHINGTON D.C., USA, 2017-Aug-03 — /EPR Retail News/ — In response to Walmart’s release of a “Policy Roadmap to Renew U.S. Manufacturing,” Making Change At Walmart Director Randy Parraz has issued the following statement:
“Walmart doesn’t care about creating supplier manufacturing jobs in America, it cares about getting the cheapest product made, regardless of the cost.
The release of a ‘policy roadmap’ is a pathetic publicity stunt. Sadly, Walmart pretends to propose more U.S. manufacturing jobs, at a time when its pressure is destroying them, like in Milton, Penn., and also at a time when it is recruiting more overseas vendors in China and other countries.
If Walmart wants to create more American manufacturing – the answer is simple: buy American,” concludes Parraz.
