Resources

Power is back up for many and it is starting to thaw across the state.That being said, thousands of members across the Gulf Coast are still without potable water and are in need of help to recover from the storm.

Our AFL-CIO Gulf Coast Area Labor Feberation has compiled lots of resources available and it is updated daily. You can find the list here: bit.ly/GulfCoastResources

Resources include bottle water and food distribution sites, contact information for union residential construction services, aid links, legal resources, and anything else we can find.
