MARTINS FERRY, Ohio — U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown introduced a bill Wednesday aimed at protecting workers from losing their jobs to technology.
During a conference call regarding his Workers’ Right to Training Act of 2019, Brown said he formed the idea after traveling across the state to talk to workers who have been impacted by technology in a negative manner. One of those talks took place last week at Belmont College in St. Clairsville.
“No matter how technology changes … workers are our greatest resource,” he said. “Too many are left behind.”
