AFL-CIO Union Veterans Council – The Council brings working class veterans together to speak out on the issues that impact us most, especially the need for good jobs and a strong, fully funded and staffed VA. Additionally, we hold private enterprise and elected officials accountable for their words and actions. The Council believes wholeheartedly that the ability for someone to self-identify as “pro-veteran” isn’t determined by what lapel pin they wear or what catchphrase they employ; veterans face real issues that require real actions.

The WWAFLCIO has received several requests from various veteran and other assistance groups to be added to our American Veterans Resources webpage. It’s been decided, after a discussion between the President and the Webmaster of the WWAFLCIO, to not add any additional links or expand this page of our website at this time. Thank you for your interest in our webpages and in helping US Veterans.
