  • Report Warns New England on Manufacturing Regional Approach Sought to Preserve High-Tech Advantage
    Report warns New England on manufacturing Regional approach sought to preserve high-tech advantage By Jay Fitzgerald GLOBE CORRESPONDENT APRIL 08, 2015 New England’s competitive edge in advanced manufacturing could erode over time if a regional approach to job training and other measures are not implemented by the six states, according to a report due Wednesday. The region is considered a leader in advanced manufacturing, which relies heavily on cutting-edge machinery, software, and robotics to make sophisticated products, ranging from medical devices to semiconductors, according to the report, produced by Deloitte Consulting LLP for the New England Council, a business group. But the study, which is a follow-up to a 2010 report, cautioned that there are persistent challenges facing the industry. In particular, the report warns of a “skills gap” between available workers and what employers increasingly need to make sophisticated, higher-end products. Most jobs in advanced manufacturing, which usually pay more than traditional manufacturing jobs, require computer, software, math, and other special skills to operate the machinery and laboratory-like equipment. “Coupled with a generation of incumbent [manufacturing] workers nearing retirement, the concerns over where to find and how to train the next generation of advanced manufacturing workers is reaching critical levels of need,” the report says. Advanced manufacturing in New England encompasses sectors such as aerospace, defense, signal processing, navigation, optics, biotechnology, medical devices, precision machinery, and other technology-driven sectors, the report notes. To bolster advanced manufacturing in the region, the report recommends: ■ Creating “program offices” that would track education, job training, and other programs designed to promote advanced manufacturing.

    New England Council Breakfast with Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker February 19, 2015—8:00 – 9:30 A.M. The Boston Harbor Hotel, Boston, MA On February 19, 2015, Governor Charlie Baker spoke to NEC members during a breakfast at the Boston Harbor Hotel. The Governor discussed his early days serving the Commonwealth, the economic and weather related issues facing it, and what issues he would like to tackle during his Administration. A special thanks to NEC members John Hancock Financial Services and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care for their generous sponsorship of the breakfast. Summary of the remarks of Governor Charlie Baker to The New England Council February 19, 2015 Governor Baker opened his remarks by sharing a joke a friend told him while he was campaigning for Governor saying, “With respect to all of the recent snow, I remember talking to a friend who said that hell would freeze over before Massachusetts elects a Republican governor.” Governor Baker, a former Chairman of the New England Council, discussed his time at the organization and what it has been able to become and accomplish over the years. o The Governor said, “The New England Council was my first job out of college. The great thing about the Council is that it has stood the test of time and during that time it has continued to serve as the regional leader for a whole series of initiatives and issues. Under Jim Brett’s leadership it has become the premiere place to go to engage Congress on issues that matter to New England—we appreciate all that you have done for the people of the region.” The Governor then reflected on his tenure so far as the Commonwealth’s chief executive by discussing his governing philosophy.

  • The Search for Constitutional Protection of Labor Standards, 1924-1941: from Interstate Compacts to International Treaties
    The Search for Constitutional Protection of Labor Standards, 1924-1941: From Interstate Compacts to International Treaties Edward C. Lorenz* I. INTRODUCTION The history of American involvement with the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the international labor standards movement uncovers intriguing leadership and motivation, surprising triumph in the 1930s, and then relentless criticism. American involvement in the ILO began as an effort to overcome Supreme Court opposition to national labor standards. With domestic judicial opposition to standards gone after World War II, America's remark- able early leadership diminished when domestic attacks on the ILO undermined American defense of universal labor rights. The American who led the United States into the ILO is as ob- scure today as the story of wavering American membership. John Winant, whom Franklin Roosevelt first sent to Geneva in 1935, pre- viously served as Republican governor of New Hampshire. How and why did a governor of New Hampshire, from the opposition, come to this role? The answer originates in the decline after 1920 of the textile mills in Manchester, New Hampshire. That circumstance propelled Winant to the leadership of those, including Roosevelt, who saw national and then international labor standards as one solution to regional economic decline. Given the exceptionally cautious Ameri- can embrace of uniform labor law, especially by the courts, FDR's collaboration with Winant, a Republican internationalist, made sense. The ILO is the only survivor of the international organizations created at the Versailles Conference and the only one the U.S. joined * Edward Lorenz is the Reid-Knox Professor of History and Political Science at Alma College, Alma, Michigan.
