ORGANIZED LABOR
Mission
The mission of the West Michigan United Labor Committee is to increase the capacity of organized labor to impact the community through recruitment and training, deploying a prepared group of union volunteers where needed. The committee is a gatekeeper for union activists to assess and forecast community needs.
Michigan AFL-CIO
A hallmark of unionism is solidarity. When we are united, we are strong. These are the binding words of the Michigan State AFL-CIO. The Michigan State AFL-CIO was formed in 1958 with the merger of two organizations: the state American Federation of Labor and the Michigan Congress of Industrial Organizations.

Labor Leads
United Way recognized organized labor by employing union staff to ensure our members have access to local community services. United Way also asks labor unions to provide members for the decision making process on how the dollars raised will be distributed.
The Labor Leads directory is a good way for union members and union leaders to be recognized for their contribution to their communities and their commitment to improving the quality of life in each and every community in Michigan.
