A Community Partner of Labor Education

Community Unity Council stands alongside organized labor in the Mid-South. Their reentry and workforce-development work pairs naturally with the labor movement's fight for good jobs and dignity for every worker — including a fair-chance path back to work for the formerly incarcerated.
