On August 29th, 2016, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer joined Amphenol Corporation CEO Adam Norwitt to announce that Amphenol employees have returned to work now that the Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA) “stop ship” order has officially been lifted. Schumer explained that, as a result of the Department of Defense’s (DOD) stop shipment orders in March, the company was forced to lay off nearly 100 employees. Schumer said these layoffs were simply unacceptable and went to bat for the company to help solve the dispute and protect the jobs. During the months that immediately followed the stop ship order, Schumer worked tirelessly with both Amphenol and the DOD to come to an agreement that would both bring the company’s shipments into compliance with DOD rules as well as cut through the DOD’s red tape so Amphenol could bring back its local workforce and support its military customers as soon as possible.
