A basic principle of the AFL-CIO Community Services Program is that the union member is, first and foremost, a citizen of the community who cooperates with other citizens in making the community a good place in which to live, work, raise children and retire. Union members are also concerned about the availability of adequate health, welfare and human care services for the entire community. Since Tarrant County United Way’s mission is to create healthier communities by addressing human service needs, the partnership between organized labor and United Way is a perfect match.
