Senator Rubio calls on Deere to ‘prioritize American workers’

Senator Marco Rubio said in a press release, “Recently, after receiving public backlash, John Deere ended several ridiculous Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies. Meanwhile, the company has laid off 2,000 American workers as it shifts production from the United States to Mexico. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio sent a letter to John Deere Chairman and CEO John May highlighting the need for patriotic companies to prioritize American workers and their families…America needs a strong manufacturing sector to build the tractors, combines, and other implements that make our country’s agricultural self-sufficiency and leadership possible. American corporations, like John Deere, have a duty to their workers, nation, customers, and shareholders.”
