UNITED WAY AND AFL-CIO Partnership
Through this program, unions and their members receive direct support in difficult times, as well as assistance with community engagement through contributions and volunteerism.
Together, Our Impact is Strongest
Uniting the community to identify and solve our most critical issues depends on your generous support.
Our Labor Partnership
United Way and the labor movement share a history of partnership dating back to World War II. Labor Liaison positions were established on the staffs of local United Ways and millions of union members have become part of the United Way family through countless volunteer hours, contributing hundreds of millions of dollars annually and making other significant contributions.
OUR COMMON VISION
United Way and the AFL-CIO share a common vision of prosperous, inclusive, diverse and safe communities, where every member of the community has access to a quality public education, fair wages, productive work opportunities, and accessible, affordable, quality health care.
