United Way of the Quad Cities Area works closely with local partners - including organized labor - to tackle the most critical issues in our community.
Union representatives serve as volunteers on committees who are working together to improve lives and make a positive change.
A union voice in the work of United Way ensures that our community is aware and focused on the needs and issues most important to working families... as well as ensuring that members of local unions have opportunities to contribute to their community.
There are currently six members on the United Way Board of Directors representing organized labor in the Quad Cities:
John White

Jacob Gorman
