Membership is available to a company with a minimum of one or more products that meets WEA criteria.
To bear the We Employ America symbol, a product must have at least 65% of the total cost of the components, manufacture and packaging incurred within the United States.
Dental Labs must have 100% of labor to fabricate all restorations produced by employees in the United States in order to qualify for WEA Membership.
A member company may only apply the WEA symbol on qualified products, unless all of that company’s products meet the 65% standard. In that case, the WEA symbol can be used in association with the company’s brand itself.
These criteria reflect the realities of the global marketplace.
The 65% standard recognizes fiscal realities and the necessity of some outsourced components in order to remain competitive in the global market.
