WASHINGTON–Labor Credit Union has expanded its field of membership to include The Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA).
Founded by a group of Latino trade unionists in 1973, LCLAA has become the leading advocacy group for Latino working rights in the United States, the credit union said. It represents the interest of more than two=million Latino workers in the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations.
“We are extremely excited about, and appreciative of the opportunity to partner with the LCLAA and include their members in our credit union’s field of membership” said Thomas Domingue, Labor Credit Union president/CEO. “This is an opportunity for us to work with an organization who shares the same values and goals of expanding financial well-being that we are passionate about here at Labor Credit Union.”
According to Domingue, the partnership will allow LCU to provide tools, resources, and financial services to members of LCLAA, who have historically been excluded from having access to these resources.
“We are looking forward to making an impact in the lives of these members and helping them on their financial wellness journey,” said Domingue.
In addition to delivering financial services, resources and education on various topics, Labor CU said it will also be a sponsor of the LCLAA 50th anniversary gala celebration at the Mayflower Hotel on Sept. 28.
