Honoring the Service and Dedication of Our Veterans

This week, the NYC Labor Movement joins the rest of our nation in thanking and recognizing our dedicated servicemembers and their families.

Yesterday, the AFL-CIO's Union Veterans Council launched a far-reaching campaign to engage, educate and mobilize the labor movement's veteran community (more than 1 million veterans nationwide) because veteran voices in our unions are powerful, persuasive and unifying.

You can also hear from Will on the NYS AFL-CIO's Union Strong podcast, where he talks about the benefits of belonging to the Union Veterans Council and how it helps veterans transition from military service to civilian life and a solid middle class job—listen here.
