  • RIGHTSIZING the WORKPLACE: How Public Power Can Support a 21St Century Labor Market That Works for All
    RIGHTSIZING THE WORKPLACE: How Public Power Can Support a 21st Century Labor Market That Works for All Introduction Economic insecurity is a long-standing problem in the United States, and millions today are struggling to get by. Around the country, approximately 80 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, and 40 percent of Americans can’t afford a $400 emergency (Hayes 2017; “Report on the Economic Well-Being of US Households in 2017” 2018). The median annual wage per household today, approximately $50,000 a year, is approximately the same as it was in the 1970s when accounting for inflation (Vo 2012; Desilver 2018). While discussions about the future of work heat up, it is important to recognize that the challenges facing workers today—and in the future—are not new. Insecure, precarious work is increasingly the norm across many sectors of the 21st century economy. As a whole, our economy today is stacked against workers and in favor of corporations and employers. Without robust and appropriate public intervention, workers will continue to face obstacles in the workplace, and our broader economic well-being will be stymied. Curbing corporate and employer power and reclaiming public power are essential steps toward addressing the collective changes that hold workers back on the job and at home. There are certainly specific challenges that workers face, which differ depending on the kind of job an individual holds, where they live and work, and their age, gender, and race. However, as a whole, our economy today is stacked against workers and in favor of corporations and employers.

Danforth United States Senate Dear Senator Danforth: This report is in response to your November 17, 1985, request that we conduct a review of transborder trucking problems, especially those related to the disparities in Canadian and American regulatory policies. This report examines the specific issues raised in your letter and examines the prospects for regulatory change in Canada. Unless you publicly announce its contents earlier, we plan no further distribution of this report until 30 days after the date of this letter. At that time, we will send copies to the Secretary of Transportation and to the United States Trade Representative. Copies will also be made available to other interested parties.

    Downloaded from SAE International by Michael Roeth, Wednesday, September 09, 2020 L. RAY BUCKENDALE 2020 LECTURE 2020-01-1945 Transformational Technologies Reshaping Transportation – An Industry Perspective Michael Roeth Executive Director, NACFE Presented at: SAE 2020 Commercial Vehicle Engineering Congress September 15, 2020 Downloaded from SAE International by Michael Roeth, Wednesday, September 09, 2020 2020 L. RAY BUCKENDALE LECTURE This lecture, presented annually at the SAE Commercial Vehicle Engineering Congress, focuses on automotive ground vehicles for either on- or off-road operation in either commercial or military service. The intent is to provide procedures and data useful in formulating solutions in commercial vehicle design, manufacture, operation and maintenance. Established in 1953, this lecture commemorates the contributions of L. Ray Buckendale, 1946 SAE President. L. Ray Buckendale, by his character and work, endeared himself to all who were associated with him. Foremost among his many interests was the desire to develop the potential abilities in young people. As he was an authority in the theory and practice of gearing, particularly as applied to automotive vehicles, it was in this field that he was best able to accomplish his purpose. To perpetuate his memory, SAE established this lecture to provide practical and useful technical information to young people involved in vehicle engineering. AUTHOR Michael Roeth Executive Director, NACFE Truck Operations Leader, Rocky Mountain Institute Mike has worked in the commercial vehicle industry for over 35 years, is the Executive Director of the North American Council for Freight Efficiency and is the trucking lead for the Rocky Mountain Institute. Mike’s specialty is brokering green truck collaborative technologies into the real world at scale.
