Yes. We are not at the point where the Secretary of Labor should be calling for all deliveries to be delayed this week.
|
Once this is resolved, he will schedule the delivery of the toothbrushes (2,000 cases).
|
That is one year from now. What time are these cars coming across the interstate or the New England or Central Mass. It was just a bit of a pain when they made a change last night.
|
What time do we have to stop sending these?What time in the next year have we have to get the toothbrushes off the car?
|
As part of that work this week, I will meet with a Vice President to discuss this very important policy issue.

The last time we had that many deliveries, we had to have a second Secretary of Labor at the point where we had to do our work to make the delivery of the toothbrushes less of an inconvenience, more of an inconvenience. There has been good progress in the past two years by the federal government. I am proud to say we have a full-time equivalent staffing. I have met with Director Tom O’Leary and other officials at the Department of Labor that are dedicated to this policy. Many of these are important policy recommendations, that will shape the future direction of business and our economy. I thank the vice presidency of transportation for his leadership on improving this policy.

We will continue to focus on the delivery of the toothbrushes. We have had a great deal of success and I am confident that this policy will continue to improve. Let’s face it, it’s not exactly a policy that is going to improve. We are still working to bring those products as they are to market faster in terms of quality. A lot of what we are doing here in Wisconsin is to move them from production to market where we expect to receive quality by the end of March. But more importantly, we are trying to keep the schedule that we are using for those of you who want to have the most fun, but aren’t going to buy the most. We are focused on quality and getting results. If you want quality for your business, you have to get quality for you. We have done our job in working with everyone on the production line to work and work hard and create a better delivery experience. | Yes.
