58% of Americans have the same amount of emergency savings or less than a year ago. When workers can't get ahead on the basics, retirement planning becomes even harder. Savings are moving in the wrong direction. At S ESOP companies, they trend the other way. Read: bankrate.com/banking/savings…

"This company's dedication to its people shines through its employee-owned structure, which provides a transformative opportunity for employees to build better lives." Thank you @RepSteveWomack for visiting ESCA member Central States and recognizing the impact of employee ownership in Northwest Arkansas.
Northwest Arkansas continues to lead in manufacturing, and I saw another prime example of this at Central States Manufacturing’s new frame plant in Springdale. This facility opened for business in fall of last year and boasts of advanced steel structure manufacturing technologies. Central States is also 100% employee-owned, providing its workers with the opportunity to build better lives for themselves and their families.

"Their model puts workers first and keeps opportunity right here in our communities." Thank you, @RepMarkAlford, for visiting ESCA member @ESS_emerysapp in Columbia and for your support of employee ownership in Missouri.
We’re here with the team at @ESS_emerysapp in Columbia today. As work moves forward on the long-awaited I-70 expansion, it’s clear this project will make travel across Missouri safer and more efficient for families, businesses, and everyone on the road.

If all private companies in the U.S. became 30% employee-owned, household wealth would nearly double, according to @HarvardHBS research. Employee ownership doesn't just build individual wealth. It keeps wealth local and builds it across generations. hbs.edu/bigs/employee-owners…

"Employee ownership creates opportunities to grow, create high-paying jobs, and strengthen retirement security for workers." Thank you @RepSmucker for visiting ESCA member KPH Healthcare Services and cosponsoring the Promotion and Expansion of Private Employee Ownership Act.
Had a great meeting with employee-owners at KPH Healthcare Services. Employee ownership creates opportunities for businesses to grow while providing employees the chance to invest directly in their company's success. I'm proud to support legislation like H.R. 3105, the Promotion and Expansion of Private Employee Ownership Act, to help small businesses expand and succeed. @EmployeesOwn

Thank you @RepBobOnder for your interest in ESOPs and engaging with employee-owners in your district.
I had the pleasure of visiting the Fountain Lakes Distribution Center in St. Charles, operated by @Vivos_Holdings, where I spoke directly with employee-owners about the unique advantages of being part of an employee-owned company and witnessed the genuine sense of pride and accountability that come from having a personal stake in the business’s success. I am grateful for the warm welcome and for the opportunity to see their day to day operations up close. Thank you for having me!

Thank you @RepDaleStrong for cosponsoring the Promotion and Expansion of Private Employee Ownership Act. Your support is a meaningful step toward giving more Americans an ownership stake in the companies where they work.
