Every day the Government Shutdown drags on, hundreds of thousands of working people are denied a paycheck and millions lose the vital government services we deserve.
If you are one of the workers being impacted by political games in Washington, here are some of the resources available to help:
- Visit www.211.org or call 2-1-1 to be connected with community resources in your area. 2-1-1 is funded by the United Way, one of the AFL-CIO’s national partners.
- If you have benefits through Union Plus, you may be eligible for assistance with your mortgage, credit card, or loans through their programming. Click here to see if you could qualify for hardship help through Union Plus.

The Milwaukee Area Labor Council and the United Way is sponsoring a free meal for ALL Federal Employees this Saturday, January 26, at the Labor Council and also delivering hot meals to workers at the airport.
Whether you are directly impacted or not, take a few minutes today to call your Senator and tell them to reopen the government by calling 1-866-803-8830.
