New York State Republican Leader Rob Ortt Statement on Unexpected Closure of Sumitomo Plant in Tonawanda

November 7, 2024

The decision by Sumitomo to shut down their Tonawanda plant is a gut punch to over 1,000 union workers, nearly 500 white collar employees, and their families, whose dedication and labor built this community. Our leaders must understand that bad policies have direct consequences on American workers, who deserve to be defended, not abandoned. This closure should be a call to action for New York and the federal government to make standing up for American workers a top priority.
