EDITORIAL
RAY LIPPE, EDITOR
“He has erected a multitude of
new offices and sent hither swarms of
officers to harass our people and eat
out their substance.”
If that sounds a little old- fashioned,
it’s because it’s from the
Declaration of Independence, July 4,
1776. The “He,” of course, is the King
of England, King George III.
This phrase was repeated recently
by one of the speakers at a Manufacturing
Summit, held at United Technical
Industries, Inc., Lee’s Summit,
MO, and hosted by the Metal Service
Center Institute (MSCI). (See page
38)
The object was to discuss “Closing
the Divide Between, Jobs, Policy
and Growth,” and to mobilize the
metals industry around the issues that
threaten the long-term outlook for
manufacturing.
Several panelists were there to
give opinions and hear suggestions
on growing the economy, regardless
of who is in the White House in 2013.
Not surprising, they felt the main
things holding back expansions were
political uncertainties with the threat
of higher taxes, health care confusion,
a lack of qualified workers and a mass
of new federal regulations in the past
few years.
The person quoting the Declaration
of Independence was referring to
OSHA and EPA regulations and the
seeming reluctance of either the inspectors
or the Dept. of Labor to work
with the manufacturers, especially
the smaller ones. Larger companies
sometimes have a lawyer present during
an inspection, but the little shops
just have to write the check. OSHA is
both judge and jury, they said.
Among the examples of fines not
fitting the violation: A company had a

Editorial
... from previous page
painting department and the painters
always checked out the paint
with the sprayers before starting
the line. A worker had opened a
can of paint, ran a test, and stepped
away for a few minutes. An OSHA
inspector happened to be in the
plant, saw an open can of paint,
and immediately imposed a $5,000
fine.
Another company had been
working closely with its state
safety group and was proud of its
spotless record over a 10-year period.
When a government inspector
found a new hose that had been
installed improperly, the fine was
set at $50,000, with no regard for
the firm’s history of safety.
Stories like these are nothing
new, of course. They’ve been going
on ever since the Occupational
Safety and Health Act was passed
Paxton & Vierling Steel 800-831-9252
Omaha, NE
sales@pvsteel.com
in 1970 and newly trained inspectors
had often never been in a machine
shop or any production plant.
We recall one inspector who said
he had been a jewelry salesman just
two weeks prior to his appointment and
he was entering a machine shop for the
first time. But, with his new government
credentials he was very confident
he knew what to find. Generally, over
the years, most manufacturers made
their peace with the government and
understood that surprise visits by the
inspectors were a fact of life. They
recognized the need for a safe environment,
both in the plant and outside.
After all, their families and friends
often worked with these machines and
chemicals, and their homes were in the
area, too.
They also invested thousands of
dollars to meet the continually increasing
demands of both OSHA and
the EPA and are justly proud of their
clean plants and safety records. Unfortunately,
the situation seems to have
changed. The economic downturn and
unrealistic regulations appear to be
causing manufacturers, especially the
smaller shops, a great deal of extra
worry and expense. Naturally, this can
translate into a reluctance by the owners
to increase employment or to trust
the government to do the right thing,
even if the company is ready to start
growing again.
Also, since some of the regulations
start above 100 employees, or 50 or
10, an employer might question why
he would want to add those few additional
workers that could put his firm
in a more “expensive” category with
greater government oversight?
If the government is truly counting
on manufacturing to lead the way
in creating employment opportunities,
as it says it is, those in the regulatory
departments haven’t gotten the message,
yet.
As we’ve mentioned before, part
of the problem is that few people involved
in policing regulations, especially
in manufacturing, have had any
experience in businesses, let alone in
36 MID-AMERICA COMMERCE & INDUSTRY

producing actual goods.
Then too, as the number of regulations has increased
and the enforcing staff has expanded, the
budget sometimes remains the same. This may be why
a number of companies, rightly or wrongly, feel a visit
by the EPA or OSHA means an automatic fine of some
sort. This certainly doesn’t make for a good partnership.
The MSCI held a number of these Manufacturing
Summits across the country, giving company owners
and managers a chance to discuss their problems and
offering ideas that can be passed on to the appropriate
governmental agencies, committees and congressmen.
As the government becomes increasingly involved
in your business, it’s especially important that
you remain an active member of whatever association
or society represents your industry at both the state and
federal level...and voice your concerns and suggestions.
In the end, the business of business is no longer
just business, as they once used to say. No matter how
good their intentions might be, we can’t assume the
regulators will always do the right thing, We also can’t
assume our representatives will look out for us. It’s up
to you.

MSCI Holds Mfg. Summit At
Unitech In Lee’s Summit
Above (l-r): MSCI Mfg. Summit panelists John Sunderman, Owen Industries;
Craig Schroer, Unitech; richard robinson, Norfolk Iron & Metal & Bob
Weidner, MSCI.
The Mid-America chapter
of the Metals Service Center
Institute (MSCI) held its 2012
Manufacturing Summit “Closing
the Divide Between Jobs, Policy
and Growth” at Unitech in Lee’s
Summit, Missouri on September
20th.
The event, which was attended
by 150 members and their
customers, was moderated by
MSCI president and CEO M.
Robert Weidner, III, and hosted by
MSCI chapter president Gregory
Otto, general manager of the Iowa
market for Ryerson, Inc.
Participants included: Richard
Robinson, president of Norfolk
Iron and Metal Company; John
Sunderman, president of Owen
Industries, Inc.; and Craig Schroer,
president and CEO of United
Technical Industries.
Political candidates attending the
event were: U.S. Rep. Todd Akin
(R-MO 2nd District) and Jacob
Turk, Republican candidate for the
U.S. House, Missouri’s 5th district.
The summit was an
opportunity for national and local
manufacturing leaders, employees
and political candidates to discuss
the most pressing issues facing the
manufacturing and metal services
sectors. “Manufacturing is vital to
our economy. If we want to see job
growth in this country, candidates
and incumbants must understand
that the industry’s needs aren’t
isolated to one or two key issues,”
said Otto. He went on to explain
that trade, regulation, taxes and
work force training initiatives
and the policies concerning them
should work together to make
the economy and the political
environment manufacturing
friendly.
According to a study by MSCI,
the metals industry has a direct
impact on more than 500,000 jobs.
Manufacturing is actually one
of the bright spots of the current
economy. It accounts for 11.7%
of the U.S. GDP, according to
the U.S. Bureau of Economic
Analysis. Significant challenges
remain, including the rising cost of
health care and the increasing costs
the federal government has imposed
on businesses.
While questions for the panel
centered around MSCI’s policy
agenda, which includes positions
on energy, trade, tax and regulation,
panelists highlighted the importance
of strong leadership and decisive
action to support the growth seen in
the manufacturing industry.
“Industries that create wealth—
mining, manufacturing and
farming—are also industries that
are capital intensive,” said Schroer,
explaining how that creates
difficulties as far as cash flow.
“Most politicians don’t realize
that in our system of taxing, you
pay twice. You pay first for the tax
bill for the current year, but then
they hit you up in advance for the
estimated tax, assuming you’re
going to have the same tax the
following year. It starves companies
of cash.”
Robinson agreed, “There is
a sentiment that it’s bad to be
successful. That’s not what this
country was built upon. It was built
upon successful people reinvesting
in their companies, buying other
companies, employing more people.
If you’re not successful, you’re not

employing people. The tax code should
be set up to incent growth.”
“Having lived in socialist countries
and then coming back to America to
start a business, I know what the effects
of debt are,” said Schroer, regarding
the national debt. “If you look at the
$16 trillion of debt, that’s $160,000
of debt per taxpayer (assuming 100
million working taxpayers). My
employees can’t pay that and I can’t pay
that, even if it’s spread over 10 years.
So it’s a multi-generational problem
already. The impact it has on my
small business: we have kept salaries
low, we’re trying to reduce debt. Our
thinking is that when the crunch comes,
we need cash to survive. We can either
pay interest, or we can pay taxes. We
can’t pay both.”
This summit was one of 11 being
held across the country this year. MSCI
hosts these events every election cycle,
following an initial set of town hall
meetings in 2004 and 2005.
“This year is a critical election year, at
a time when manufacturing could play
a very pivital role in getting the nation
back on track,” said Weidner. “As a
nonpartisan organization, it’s our duty
to inform our membership, state and
federal representatives and the media
about our industry and provide them
with the tools to solve the challenges
facing it. There are real issues facing the
manufacturing sector, which will have
real costs for employers and employees
alike. Today’s discussion was frank,
open and insightful. I hope it will lead
to concrete, practical action.”
Founded in 1909, the Metals Service
Center Institute has nearly 400 members
operating from more than 1,500
locations in the United States, Canada,
Mexico and throughout the world.
Together MSCI members constitute
the largest single group of metals
purchasers in North America,
amounting each year to more than
55 million tons of steel, aluminum
and other metals, with about 300,000
manufacturers and fabricators as
customers.

Multi-axis, dual-spindle lathes are complex, expensive,
and difficult to operate.

incredibly versatile machine that’s easy to operate.
