 “The AFL-CIO recognizes that 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. We need a labor movement that's not afraid of new ideas -- and understands that nostaligia for the past is no strategy for the future. And it's high time to debunk the myth that we have to make a choice between good jobs and a clean environment, because, the truth is, we can have both.”
Richard Trumka
AFL-CIO President |
 |  "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.”
