Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
\nOn October 25, 2011, Schumer announced his support for the SECTORS Act of 2011, which would create Department of Labor grants to help manufacturers like TitanX and others throughout Western New York to work with local schools and workforce development groups to create training classes and programs to teach students the skills they need to secure jobs at a Western New York manufacturing company. TitanX is just one of several growing manufacturers in the area that has either seen jobs go unfilled for long periods of time or had to look outside of Western New York to find skilled workers to fill the jobs. Schumer was joined by TitanX President Matt Moore, Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards, and officials from Cummins Engine, Jamestown Community College, Chautauqua Works, SUNY Fredonia, Skyview Learning Group, Erie 2 BOCES, IAM Lodge 2105, and UAW Local 2231.
