HELPING AMERICA WORK: Meeting the Challenges of the 21st Century Workforce By Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao
I am pleased to have so many representatives of organized labor at this Summit. In my meetings with union leaders as Secretary of Labor, we are finding a number of issues where there is common ground to strengthen America's workforce.
For example: Doug McCarron, President of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. Doug and I have talked at length about workforce training as the future of his union.
And Cecil Roberts of the UMW is also here with us. I've had similar conversations with him, John Sweeney of the AFL-CIO, and John Wilhelm of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union.
But this issue doesn't just matter to unions. It matters to business as well. It matters to our country.------------------------------------------- posted 6:20 AM :: reference link ::
