Maine’s American Roots Apparel, a unionized clothing maker, thrives by training workers, using U.S. materials, and pushing for national support to revive domestic manufacturing.
Whitney and Ben Waxman, founders of Maine’s American Roots Apparel, say reviving U.S. manufacturing requires more than tariffs, emphasizing workforce training, government support, and consumer demand for quality and ethics.
Their unionized factory, built with American-sourced materials and 75 workers, overcame labor shortages through programs like Common Threads of Maine, which trains immigrants.
They advocate for tax incentives, stronger unions, and investment in domestic supply chains, arguing that lasting change demands national commitment, not just policy tools.
