Messages to the Working for America Institute from Unions 

The New York State AFL-CIO Welcomes 
Working for America Institute's 2000 National Conference 
to New York

The New York State AFL-CIO is committed to implementing the conference theme, "Good Jobs & Strong Communities: Tools for Building the High Road."

We believe that workforce development is the single most important factor in promoting economic development and helping working families achieve a better life.

Taking the High Road 
To Good Jobs & Strong Communities

It's working ... for America & America's Unions!

As The Union for the Information Age,
CWA
proudly salutes the outstanding mission and work of the 
AFL-CIO Working for America Institute

The challenge of change has always been part of CWA's history. In many ways, change--and the ability to adapt to changing times--has been the one constant in CWA's history of more than six decades.

The work of the AFL-CIO Working for America Institute to help create, retain and expand good jobs and therein build strong communities for working families could not be more appropriate in labor's ongoing quest for dignity and justice in the 21st century workplace.

The Working for America Institute is about Making Life Better ... and that has always been the hallmark of the American labor movement.
