Every year the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO Education Committee holds a Scholarship Essay Contest for graduating high school seniors and post-secondary students from affiliated union families. This year's contest theme is the life and legacy of the late National AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. We hope this contest introduces learners to the values of the labor movement and the importance of union solidarity.
