YOUR VOICE IN THE WORKPLACE

YOUR VOICE IN THE WORKPLACE MATTERS

To make sure that workers partner in building up the U.S. economy and ensuring the benefits of that growth are broadly shared, we must empower more workers with a voice. That's why he is convening a Summit on Worker Voice on October 7. The Summit, which will bring together workers, employers, unions, organizers, and other advocates and experts; will highlight the value of collective bargaining; examine challenges facing workers trying to organize in the 21st century; bring attention to new, innovative ways that workers are coming together to have a voice in their workplaces; and engage employers who are collaborating with their workers to create meaningful partnerships that are good for workers and businesses.

It can't happen without your voice, and we just released a brand-new tool where you can share your individual worker story. Tell us about how you -- or someone you know -- has stepped up in your workplace to challenge your employer to treat their employees better.

That's right!!!!! Especially the point about not expecting any production.

Good point.

Why don't you go start your own company if it is so easy. Then you can pay your employees great wages, pay for all of their healthcare, give great vacation time, flexible work schedules and bonuses all while not expecting any production. That is what this country needs to improve employment, not more bitching and whining about the companies that actually pay you.

To: HON Thomas E. Perez-Secretary of Labor.

For the past two months many of us have been voices in the wilderness. There are not too many things worse than being truly aggrieved with proof to prove so and not have a truly effective means to find someone, anyone, to advocate for us. How

many times does the for-profit school

industry have to be exposed for what it is

before Washington or anybody takes an

active hand in stopping this rapine? This

situation has been well documented but

still allowed to continue year after year

fueled exclusively by federal money. My

suggestion is to set up a special panel of

administrative law judges to handle each

alledged case of

misrepresentation or out right misleading fraud and adjudicate on its merits. This

process would separate the wheat from the

chaff so to speak. With at least 1.2 trillion

dollars in consideration the time has come.

Unlike the housing debaucle of several

years back, I know of no students who

borrowed money out of speculative greed.

Their only sin was that they trusted the dishonorable. Mr. Perez its generationally

pathetic and sad that money and

purchased influence always seems to,and

does, trump justice. Any responce of substance would be welcome. All bark and no bite won't help a generation of trashed people.

The ship is sinking!
