                               RESOLUTION


 
   Designating October 2017 as ``National Employee Ownership Month''.

Whereas employee-owned companies give workers a voice in corporate governance, 
        and that voice helps the long-term well-being of the company;
Whereas employee-owned companies often outperform non-employee-owned companies 
        and show greater resiliency during challenging economic conditions;
Whereas employee-owned companies face lower staff turnover, and workers 
        experience greater job security at those companies;
Whereas employee-owners feel better prepared to cover the expenses of life and 
        retire with a greater sense of financial security; and
Whereas employee-owned companies have a rich history in communities across the 
        United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates October 2017 as ``National Employee 
        Ownership Month'';
            (2) supports employee-owned businesses; and
            (3) acknowledges that employee-owned companies have a 
        positive impact on workers, businesses, and communities.
