TRSA advocates directly with federal, state and local officials, participates in coalitions and initiates grassroots activity to ensure that the government hears the industry’s voice when ruling on relevant tax, workplace safety, labor, energy and water concerns. TRSA proactively builds linen, uniform and facility services providers’ reputation in Washington D.C. by promoting to Congress and federal agencies the value and benefits of the industry. TRSA consistently monitors and reports on new and evolving federal, state and local initiatives, particularly bills on tax, workplace safety, labor, energy and water concerns.

TRSA develops relationships with federal, state and local legislators and regulators to inform and educate them on the impact that policy makes on linen, uniform and facility services operations. We constantly monitor and proactively address issues related to labor, compliance, tax, and environmental policy. TRSA garners support for fair and balanced regulation and taxation that protects the industry’s standard operating practices.
