MFA Leaders Launch Coalition to Fight Tariffs on Vinyl Flooring
Norwalk, Conn. -- Leaders of the Multilayer Flooring Association (MFA) have launched The American Consumers and Workers Justice Coalition (ACWJC) to rally against the proposed additional tariffs on vinyl flooring imports from China. ACWJC said the tariffs will will have a negative impact on U.S. consumers and many domestic flooring businesses, especially those benefiting from the explosive growth of luxury vinyl tile and multilayer flooring.
Already with 34 members and growing, the coalition is standing up for the small businesses and consumers who would be affected by the proposed tariffs: higher consumer prices on LVT/Vinyl flooring; fewer flooring choices for the American consumer; stifled innovation in product design, performance, safety and sustainability; potential job losses in the sales and supply channel (flooring distributors/retailers/installers/contractors).
