A Lasting Partnership: Organized Labor & United Way

AFL-CIO

"THE AFL-CIO-UNITED WAY PARTNERSHIP was created more than 75 years ago. This beneficial and long-lasting partnership has engaged hundreds of thousands of working people-union members and nonmembers alike-in programs that benefit communities across the country.

The United Way and the labor movement share a common vision of prosperous, inclusive, diverse and safe communities where every member of the community has access to quality public education, fair wages, productive work opportunities, and accessible, affordable, quality healthcare.

In recent years, the AFL_CIO and the United Way have undergone organizational changes that have led to an increased focus on developing sustainable solutions to the problems facing working families and communities around the country, and creating programs that bring diverse organizations together to advance the common good and address the root causes of social and economic inequality,"
