Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On January 11, 2010, Schumer held a rally with Penn Traffic Employees and members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union to discuss the state of play of the Penn Traffic bankruptcy process and continue to press all parties to select a bid that will save the greatest number of stores and jobs. Last week, Schumer urged the major players in the Penn Traffic negotiations to not accept any low-ball liquidation bids offered and instead to prioritize bids that maximize the greatest number of jobs retained and stores kept open. Schumer has been a strong advocate for employees and customers of supermarkets owned by Penn Traffic. In December, he successfully secured an additional month for companies to bid on Penn Traffic locations to allow the company to sell as many stores as possible. Schumer was joined by Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards and Jamestown Mayor Sam Teresi. For further information on Chuck Schumer please visit: www.schumer.senate.gov
