Labor Partnerships

AFL-CIO and United Way Quad Cities Logos

United Way has had a longstanding partnership with AFL-CIO to tackle critical issues in the Quad Cities. In fact, four members on the United Way Board of Directors represent organized labor in the Quad Cities.

Our unique collaboration ensures the Quad Cities has the resources to break barriers, creating opportunities for a better life for all.

Much like organized labor, United Way focuses on education, financial stability and health because these are the building blocks for a good quality of life.
