Report on the White House Summit on Working Families McKenzie Cantrell KEJC Employment Law Attorney Workers’ Rights Task Force Meeting-August 15, 2014

What was the White House Summit on Working Families? The White House Summit on Working Families was held June 23, 2014 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C. The White House, United States Department of Labor and The Center for American Progress cohosted the event. The Summit collected 1,500 advocates, policymakers, union leaders, business leaders, economists, politicians, and other stakeholders in the same room to discuss changes in law, policy, and culture to better support working families. The United States is one of only three industrialized countries that does not have some form of paid family leave.

Speakers Included:

Businesses Getting it Right and Doing Things Differently The Summit Highlighted businesses that have adopted on their own policies that support workers and their families, including: Businesses paying hourly wages higher than the minimum wage (Gap, Zazle, small businesses) Businesses offering flexible schedules to employees to care for children, aging parents, and wounded veterans (Price Waterhouse Cooper’s unlimited paid time off, IT companies) Businesses with employee owned business models (New Belgium Brewing Company)

After the Summit A lot of great things have happened since the Summit! The Summit raised awareness and created media attention on worker issues. The Summit continues: The Summit has turned into a nationwide working group for advocates working for local policy changes, with regular conference calls. The President has issued several executive orders to improve working conditions for federal workers and workers for federal contractors, following through on promises made during his speech at the Summit.
