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 we're holding the Summit on Worker Voice on October 7.

The Summit will bring together workers, employers, unions, organizers, and other advocates and experts to:

	- 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
	- Engage employers who are collaborating with their workers to create meaningful partnerships that are good for workers and businesses
