In our sixth annual Labor Day List: Partnerships that Work,
the American Rights at Work Education Fund recognizes employers who
practice labor-management cooperation while creating pioneering
solutions to the environmental challenges of the 21st century. The eight
businesses featured see their workers’ unions as essential partners,
and consider environmental stewardship a key component of their business
model. At a time when the leadership of bold, visionary employers is in
high demand, this year’s Labor Day List companies provide a model for
the “win-win-win” economy our country needs—an economy in which
businesses thrive, the planet prospers, and workers share in the success
they help create.
