When you join the National Association of Manufacturers, you:

• Join forces with thousands of other NAM members fighting for a strong future for U.S. manufacturing.
  
  
• Take action to reduce costs resulting from government policies -- like high taxes, excess regulation, litigation, and rising health and energy costs.
  
  
• Join the winning team in key policy battles. We sued OSHA and secured legislation overturning its ergonomics rule, saving NAM members $781 per worker. Our lobbying was pivotal in lowering the top rate on manufacturing income from 38.6 to 32 percent for all manufacturers (including S-corps).
  
  
• Combine forces with the association that saved users of the R&D credit an average of $462,750 over five years. We saved NAM members at least $200,000 per facility by derailing EPA's original Metal Products & Machinery rule. We’ve also won victories on pension funding, capital gains, H-1B visas, AMT, mandated benefits, expanding exports and more.
  
  
• Support the association that launched the American Justice Partnership to ensure that appointed judges and court officers interpret the law, not legislate from the bench.
  
  
• Help secure pro-growth policies to level the global playing field, encourage innovation and investment, and develop our 21st Century workforce.
  
  
• Become a member of what Fortune magazine calls one of the 10 most influential advocacy organizations in the United States — the only one in the top 25 devoted solely to U.S. manufacturers.
  
  
• Gain personal access to the NAM’s experts on tax, trade, labor, OSHA, EPA and other matters affecting your company.
  
  
• Network with your manufacturing peers, leverage your relationship with public officials and receive timely, customized information on policies that affect your company.
