$5 For the Fight Fund
Please consider donating to the $5 for the Fight Fund to help a union member in need.
Your tax deductible donations keep the Fund going to help union families facing unexpected expenses due to injury, job loss, changing life circumstances, medical emergencies or other unexpected changes.
One hundred percent of every donation goes to the Fight fund, and 100 percent of the money in the fund goes to help working families in need.
Union members who turn to the fund do not receive the funds directly. Instead, following confirmation of union membership and an evaluation interview with a Labor liaison at the United Way, the Fund contacts creditors, landlords, mortgage lenders, hospitals, etc. and makes payments directly to those creditors on the union members’ behalf.
Efforts to promote and service the Fund are donated by the Labor Council, United Way and the Labor Tribune.
