The "New Economy" has shredded the old Social Contract that sustained the prosperity of post-war America. The South Bay AFL-CIO, the local federation of unions in Silicon Valley, has become a laboratory for initiatives geared toward rebuilding the link between industry success and community well-being. Uniquely combining research, public policy, leadership development, and advocacy, these efforts are all aimed at rebuilding a public voice for working families in the community, at work, and in the halls of government.
