The local labor movement has proudly joined in with other caring segments of the community to do its part in helping the United Way of Wyoming Valley in carrying out its mission. Acting as a responsible and concerned partner of one's community has evolved, in part, as a result of organized labor's history and basic principles of caring established through their AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor & Congress of Industrial Organizations) Community Services Program.

While the United Way of Wyoming Valley and the Greater Wilkes-Barre Labor Council (AFL-CIO) and their affiliated unions have had a formal partnership since 1948, many of our local public school districts/teachers unions,  represented by the NEA/PSEA (National Education Association/Pennsylvania State Education Association) have also been extremely supportive and involved in the local labor movement's overall support of United Way.
