n these tough economic times, the combination of rising health care costs and lower revenues has made it increasingly difficult for private companies, unions, nonprofits, religious organizations, and state and local governments to provide quality and affordable health coverage for their retirees. And, as Labor Day approaches, I want to recognize those employers who are committed to maintaining adequate benefits for their workers and retirees in spite of these challenges." Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis
