One subject that will be covered at AAM Town Hall meeting in Columbus tonight is Chinese pirating of American goods.  One of our panelists, Steve Bishoff, the president of Steelworkers local 525, will be discussing the specific difficulties that Ohio manufacturers face due to Chinese theft of U.S. designs.  It’s a subject that Steve has studied firsthand. 

It happens that piracy and counterfeiting are timely issues.  In the Senate today, Indiana Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) testified yesterday regarding the inadequacies of current U.S. efforts to enforce global intellectual property rights. 

By the way, AAM Senior Analyst Kerri Houston published an interesting piece on Ohio manufacturig in yesterday’s Lima News.
