 “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.”
