Support the United Way

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

As you are aware, the BCTGM has been a long-time supporter of the United Way of America. For more than 60 years, the labor movement has teamed with the United Way to provide assistance for working men and women and their families who find themselves in need.

With working families facing the toughest economic conditions in our lifetime, the services provided by United Way take on even greater importance this year. For this reason, I am writing to encourage you and your members to become active supporters of the 2009 United Way campaign in your community.

I also want to call to your attention an innovative website called UnemploymentLifeline.com that was developed by the AFL-CIO in conjunction with the United Way that offers a range of resources and strategies for the unemployed, as well as connection to local assistance programs. Please alert your members to this important resource.

As always, your generosity and assistance are greatly appreciated.
