Demand Fair Trade and Worker Protections Amid Semiconductor Industry Uncertainty
Related Article: Applied Materials projects weaker semiconductor equipment revenue - UPI.com - upi.com - Friday, August 15, 2025, 2:28:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: U.S. Congress, Department of Commerce, Applied Materials executive leadership
Goal: We call on policymakers and industry leaders to prioritize fair trade, protect workers, and ensure transparency in the semiconductor equipment sector during this period of economic uncertainty.
The semiconductor equipment industry is facing significant challenges, as highlighted by Applied Materials' recent revenue projections and the impact of ongoing tariff disputes. As the U.S. government proposes steep tariffs on semiconductors and related equipment, and as companies like Applied Materials navigate uncertain global demand, workers and communities are left vulnerable to job losses and economic instability.
Tariff policies that prioritize corporate interests over workers' rights and community well-being risk deepening inequality and undermining domestic manufacturing. We must ensure that any trade negotiations or industry adjustments include robust protections for workers, transparency in decision-making, and a commitment to sustainable, equitable economic growth.
We urge Congress, the Department of Commerce, and industry leaders to act now to protect jobs, invest in workforce development, and promote fair trade policies that benefit everyone—not just corporate shareholders.
Key Demands
- Implement strong labor protections and job security measures for workers in the semiconductor equipment sector.
- Ensure transparency and public input in all trade negotiations and tariff decisions affecting the semiconductor industry.
- Invest in workforce development and retraining programs to support workers impacted by industry volatility.
- Promote fair trade policies that prioritize community well-being, environmental sustainability, and economic justice.
- Hold corporations accountable for maintaining domestic manufacturing and supporting local economies.
