Resources for Union Veterans

Millions of our union sisters and brothers are veterans. Are you one of them?

The issues facing veterans and those facing working families aren’t independent of each other – a lack of good jobs, attacks on health care and fading dreams of a better life impact each one of us.

The Union Veterans Council brings union members who are veterans together to speak out on the issues that impact veterans most, especially the need for good jobs and a strong, fully funded and staffed VA.

Additionally, the Council holds private enterprise and elected officials accountable for their words and actions. The ability for someone to self-identify as "pro-veteran" isn't determined by what lapel pin they don or what catchphrase they employ; veterans face real issues that require real actions – constructive actions that lead to positive solutions.

AFL-CIO Union Veterans Council Director Will Fischer talks about where GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump really stands when it comes to veterans.

The Department of Labor has launched a new website, veterans.gov, a helpful tool for veterans seeking jobs and for employers looking to employ veterans.
