Without the American worker fueling the economic engine of our country, we would never have become the most productive, affluent nation in the world. But in today’s global economy, regaining that status– and recapturing U.S. jobs– will require more than the mighty muscle and ingenuity of American workers.

The future-critical question is: What can organized labor as an institution and their management counterparts do TODAY to restore our nation’s competitive capacity and preserve jobs that fuel our economic engine?

Take, for example, the Federal Aviation Administration which, as the largest sub-component of the Department of Transportation, helped propel DOT to the top of the list of Most Improved Large Agencies in the *Best Places to Work in the Federal Government*® rankings. Of particular note is the fact that the agency made significant progress at a time when a majority saw their [employee satisfaction levels](https://www.orginc.com/blog/cultivate-collaboration-with-these-5-keys-to-employee-engagement) decline. As noted on the Best Places website, “Employee satisfaction decreased in 66 percent of agencies. A few agencies, however, defied the government-wide convention, including the [Department of Transportation](http://bestplacestowork.org/BPTW/rankings/detail/TD00), a large agency which raised its score a full 4.1 points.” [Continue Reading](https://www.orginc.com/blog/2013/04/12/faa-bucks-trend-in-declining-employee-satisfaction) [0 Comments](https://www.orginc.com/blog/2013/04/12/faa-bucks-trend-in-declining-employee-satisfaction#comments-listing) Topics: [Collaboration](https://www.orginc.com/blog/topic/collaboration) [Conflict Resolution](https://www.orginc.com/blog/topic/conflict-resolution-2) [Labor Management](https://www.orginc.com/blog/topic/labor-management) [Leadership](https://www.orginc.com/blog/topic/leadership) [Sustainable Change](https://www.orginc.com/blog/topic/sustainable-change) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ## [Freshmen Orientation Should Include Collaboration Course](https://www.orginc.com/blog/2013/01/11/freshmen-orientation-should-include-collaboration-course) by [Cathy Wright](https://www.orginc.com/blog/author/cwright), on January 11, 2013 The following blog appeared in the January 9 edition of The Hill, a congressional newspaper that publishes daily when Congress is in session, and was also included in its Congress [blog](http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/politics/276341-freshman-orientation-should-include-collaboration-course#disqus_thread).
