The Department of Labor is running a seminar on October 7, 2015. Labor leaders need to keep track of the DOL efforts and possibly participate if they aren't already.

Editor’s note: (click here) The White House Summit on Worker Voice will provide a historic opportunity to bring together a diverse group of leaders – including workers, employers, unions, organizers and other advocates and experts — to explore ways to ensure that middle class Americans are sharing in the benefits of the broad-based economic growth that they are helping to create. The conversation will include both seasoned and emerging leaders from across the country who are taking action in their communities to lift up workers’ voices....

This can be a great opportunity for union leaders to meet industry leaders and SHOW THEM how benevolent union leaders of their workers insures. Unions enforce an educated and healthy and well paid work force.

When a company has a strong ethic and invites long term employment unions can support the industry benefits enormously. A union brings a stable work force rather than one that has to be trained every six months with high turn over rates.

Unions know worker concerns. They can address them before it becomes a problem to the company.
