Embracing its mission to enhance the value of union membership and support a stronger labor movement, Union Privilege has developed a Union Leaders of the Future Scholarship to help more women and people of color become union leaders. This new program provides annual awards up to $3,000 to help future leaders with the cost of continuing their education to pursue their union career goals and leadership skills.
