UNION MEMBERS OF THE MONTH!!
All presidents will nominate a union member each month who has exhibited outstanding work in support of the union and the labor movement.


He or she must be a true union activist, and have provided both time, effort, and support to growing the labor movement. The member can be a rank and file member or an officer, but not the President.

Any member nominated by the President of a Metropolitan Detroit AFL-CIO affiliate will have their picture placed on the website for a month, and also in the Labor newsletter.  Labor Newsletter Editor, Bridgette Bradley, will interview each nominee and write the story to appear on the website and in the Labor Newsletter.
