QC_ADC 5 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Does anyone know if a requirement for the George Meany award is for the Scouter's union to be AFL-CIO affiliated? The form says "union scouter" but is coordinated via local AFL-CIO Labor Councils. Link to post Share on other sites

QC_ADC 5 Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 @RememberSchiff Thanks! I'm returning to scouting after a 10 year hiatus. Getting caught up and helping with a new district after re-districting. Link to post Share on other sites

Since they sign off, they are the ones that have to be "ok with it". I know that many teacher unions, for example, are not AFL-CIO. Sometimes, though, they have an understanding with AFL-CIO and thus the AFL-CIO may have no issue signing off. Link to post Share on other sites
QC_ADC 5 Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 That was kind of my assumption, but I wasn't sure. I guess the best way to find out is to submit the nomination and see what they say. Link to post Share on other sites

I reached out before submitting so they knew it was coming and what it was all about. Not all labor councils are familiar with it. Link to post Share on other sites
