NEW
HIGH ROAD PARTNERSHIP REPORT
Working for America
is releasing a new overview on union sponsored high
road initiatives, the High
Road Partnership Report. The Report is based
on fourteen of the earliest high road partnerships
around the country and includes case summaries on
each of them. It reviews the challenges addressed
by these partnerships, the distinctive features that
have led to their success, their patterns of development,
and the challenges they face as they evolve to become
more effective in building good jobs and strong communities
within their industries and regions.
The Report demonstrates
how the breadth of high road partnership organization
allows unions to take on larger challenges that often
fall beyond the capabilities of individual unions.
And it identifies barriers that stand in the way of
development for the existing partnerships-both mature
and fledgling - as well as the forces which limit
the proliferation of more such high road partnerships
which are so needed by America's working families.
Unions, employers,
community organizations, local, state and national
government and others who make up high road partnerships
can come away from this report more convinced than
ever that high road partnerships work, and that their
mission is on track.
