POPLAR BLUFF, MO (KFVS) -
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill will tour the Mid Continent Nail Corporation in Poplar Bluff, Missouri on Friday, June 29.
She will be meeting with employees and discussing the impact tariffs are having on Missouri businesses.
The nail manufacturer in Poplar Bluff laid off dozens of employees in June and it’s possible the situation could get much worse.
“It appears to me that in a chaotic and frankly incompetent manner, you’re picking winners and losers on very technical bases according to all the reporting we have, without a great deal of training, and the regulatory burden is so extreme on small businesses,” McCaskill said to Secretary Ross at a recent hearing. “…The majority of nails that are manufactured in this country come from a company called Mid Continent Nail Corporation in Poplar Bluff, Missouri…So far, in response to the tariff, they have lost almost half of their business in one month due to price.”
