The AFL-CIO Community Services Program represents a 70-year partnership between organized labor and Greater Twin Cities United Way.  

Community Services volunteers and staff improve the lives of working families by working with broad and diverse coalitions to promote dignity and economic justice for workers. They also empower workers and their unions to make their communities better, more responsive places to live, work, raise a family and retire.

AFL-CIO Community Services liaisons:
• Provide information and referral services for a variety of resources, including health care, food and financial assistance and foreclosure prevention.
• Coordinate strike and layoff training for unions.
• Mobilize union members and community and religious organizations in support of workers’ struggles for justice.
• Advocate for working family issues, including affordable health care, improved transit and an economy that works for all.
