We’ve got two short years to capitalize on AFGE majorities in both houses of Congress and a friendlier administration in the White House. We’ve got to seize on the fierce urgency of NOW – making sure our union is big enough and strong enough that we never face attacks like we did the last four years. We’re already racking up major victories in the Biden administration, but we’ve got to get back to growing our union and our collective power. NOW is the time. #ProudToBeAFGE

Community Service-Labor & The United Way
Courtesy of the PA AFL-CIO
The Labor movement and the United Way movement have a lot in common – we have a rich history and heritage of caring about human needs, justice, fairness, and opportunity. We succeed together when we put our community first. Since 1946, the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) and United Way Worldwide (formerly United Way of America) have enjoyed a cooperative relationship through which they and state and local United Ways provide services to members of organized labor, their families, and their communities. Organized labor is also part of the decision-making process at United Way Worldwide, with AFL-CIO representatives serving on the Board of Trustees.
