Labor and United Way a Partnership that Works
The national partnership of the AFL-CIO and the United Fund began in 1946. Since just after World War II, United Way has partnered with labor unions. Giving back is a union tradition and is done in varying ways; contributing time, skills or money. Union members help to make a huge difference in the community through, the United Way. Thousands of dollars are solicited each year by payroll deduction
