ORGANIZED LABOR AND UNITED WAY
Together, building a stronger community
Over the years, we’ve seen how a strong partnership between labor and management has a positive and powerful impact on the community.
OUR MISSION
To build a stronger Miami-Dade County by uniting union members to make personal investments of time and resources in our community through United Way.
UNITED WAY MIAMI AND AFL-CIO PARTNERSHIP
For decades, the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) and United Way Miami have enjoyed a cooperative relationship based on three key principles:
- Focusing on the training and personal development of individuals
- Providing services to workers and their families
- Encouraging positive community change through personal involvement
Over the years, we’ve seen how a strong partnership between labor and management has a positive and powerful impact on the community as a whole and within the workplace as well. At United Way, labor representatives serve in many key leadership roles – as volunteers on key standing committees, and as trustees and champions for our work in education, financial stability and health.
