Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich will spend Labor Day with transit
workers at New York City's Penn Station and health care workers at George
Washington University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and will talk
directly to American workers all over the country through dozens of radio and
television call-in shows as well as an on-line internet conference.
Reich will begin his annual Labor Day National Dialogue with American
Workers in New York City. Following a meeting with New York labor leaders,
Reich will visit with dozens of transport employees--including reservation
agents, baggage handlers, ticket agents, track maintenance and on-board train
personnel at New York's Penn Station.
Later that afternoon, the secretary will share a brown bag lunch with
doctors, nurses, orderlies, administrators, cafeteria personnel, linen workers
and maintenance staff in the cafeteria of George Washington University Medical
Center in Washington.
As he has done in past Labor Days, Reich will take to the airwaves for
the remainder of the day to talk directly with American workers. He will
participate in more than a dozen local and national call-in radio talk shows.
In addition, he will go on-line via a special Business Week magazine Internet
conference.
Reich will deliver his annual State of the American Workforce address,
titled "Beyond Labor Daze: Seven New Directions At Work" on Tuesday, Sept. 3.
The speech is sponsored by the Center for National Policy. Reich will unveil
seven key trends he has identified during his four years as labor secretary
visiting countless workers in hundreds of occupations across the United States.
