Union Veterans Council Becomes 7th AFL-CIO Constituency Organization

During the 2009 AFL-CIO Convention, the AFL-CIO passed a resolution to form the Union Veterans Council. From its inception, the UVC was a force multiplier for union veterans and all working families in their fight for economic freedom and security. And we are proud to announce today that because of our success and growth the UVC is becoming its own nonprofit labor organization that was just recognized by the AFL-CIO Executive Committee as only the 7th official constituency organization in history.

Memorial Day: Honoring U.S. Military Personnel Who Made the Ultimate Sacrifice

Today is Memorial Day. There are more than 1 million working union veterans in the labor movement—found within every affiliated union of the AFL-CIO. For many of those veterans and their families, today is a day of reflection and remembrance. It’s up to all of us to honor the memories of those we celebrate today and to be there for our sisters and brothers who might be having a tough day.
