Opening General Session:
    The Big Squeeze: How HR Can Help the American Worker

   Steven Greenhouse, Labor & Workplace Columnist, The New York Times

The broad decline in the status and treatment of American workers -- white-collar and blue-collar, middle-class and low-end -- began nearly three decades ago, gradually gathered momentum, and hit with full force soon after the turn of this century. Paradoxically, this is happening concurrently with increased recognition that an engaged and committed workforce, a key HR deliverable, is critical to organizational performance. Steven Greenhouse, author of The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker, will examine these important and conflicting trends and present a series of pragmatic, ready-to-be-implemented suggestions on what HR and their organizations can do to alleviate "the big squeeze."
