Community Partners
Union members all live in and are part of communities. They belong to houses of worship, community organizations, political clubs, Justice committee's and many other types of organized groups. We at Local 1500 feel it is important to be involved and support the communities where are members reside. That is why Local 1500 belongs to so many different types of groups and have partnered with many on issues of mutual concern. We encourage you to visit these websites and learn about the many partners Local 1500 has and see if you might to want to join them and work together.
