Advanced Manufacturing Workforce Strategies Tool Kit Released
11/13/2006 The Working for America Institute has released an Advanced Manufacturing Workforce Strategies Tool Kit, a resource guide designed to explore the workforce challenges facing the unionized segment of the manufacturing sector. The Tool Kit includes detailed case studies of exemplary labor-management partnerships that address those workforce challenges and "how-to" checklists that guide partnerships and the public system in replicating these promising practices in their own communities, and a comprehensive set of resources that can be used in this work. Labor-management partnerships and others addressing workforce challenges in manufacturing or other sectors can access the Tool Kit via a web-based or publication version. (Full

Getting to Work: A Report on How Workers with Limited English Skills Can Prepare
for New Jobs
“The
AFL-CIO recognizes that it is simply not enough for unions to react to downsizing
and layoffs with objections and protests. If workers are to have a voice in our
country’s ever-changing economy, unions must play a greater role in creating
and retaining good jobs.”
John J. Sweeney President AFL-CIO and President of
the Institute’s Board of Directors
"Everything
we do at the Institute is about creating a high road economy—an economy
that generates good jobs and builds stronger communities. It requires a great
deal of research, analysis and planning. It requires resources and commitment
from all levels of government and from community organizations. Most of all, it
requires the participation of employers and unions who are willing to work together
to share the benefits as well as the costs.”
