A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

My state has a whole program to strengthen the relationship of manufacturing industry with education. I dont know the details, butI know it exsists, along with our many many tech schools. We also have state funded community college programs for industry.

I read an interesting story about Obama admin funded these programs in West Virginia to help those jobs lost as coal mining became less profitable and mines closed, with the locals deciding what programs worked best for their communities. By far the most popular classes were: coal mining... Ironic if true, there may be some lessons learned in there somewhere.
