ALPA President to Provide Expertise at G20 National Consultative Meeting

February 22, 2010 - ALPA President John Prater was invited to be a member of a select group of labor and business leaders participating in a “National Consultative Meeting” hosted by Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis. This meeting comes as a result of G20 Labor and Employment ministers’ asking that their April summit in Washington, D.C., be preceded by consultations with the foremost representatives of both labor and business.

The meeting will explore issues that might be included in the upcoming G20 meeting, including the evolving employment situation as a result of the international economic crisis, the impact of policies that countries have already adopted, and the need for additional measures to create good jobs, now and in the future.
