United Way of Central Alabama

The Jefferson County Labor Council and United Way of Central Alabama have a partnership of over 50 years. This partnership will continue through the Central Alabama Labor Federation. United Way of Central Alabama participates in the AFL-CIO Community Services Liaison program by employing a liaison who works jointly with the Labor Council and United Way. The liaison is involved in programs that benefit union members and local unions throughout the area. These programs include community service committee training, union counselor training, strike preparation, as well as developing and referring individual union members to community resources.

In addition there are union leaders involved in every facet of United Way of Central Alabama activities. This includes representatives on the UWCA Board of Directors, executive committees, allocations committees, and a position on the Campaign Cabinet in the area of fundraising. The labor community is fully integrated in all activities of United Way of Central Alabama.
