Our Partners
Organized Labor

The unions of the AFL-CIO and United Ways throughout the country have been partners for over 50 years. This collaboration exists because our organizations share a common mission of strengthening the communities in which we live and work. Through broad-based coalitions, board memberships and taking active roles in workplace campaigns, the unions of the AFL-CIO demonstrate their commitment to a system that works for all of us.
