PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO (http://phillyunions.com/aflcio) has announced that its Executive Board has unanimously adopted the PhillyUnions.com Pro-Union Preferred Partners Program as its authorized Buy Union/Pro-Union resource and marketing program. This move marks the launch of their new Union-Yes Philadelphia Campaign, a concerted effort to connect union and pro-union businesses, professionals, political leaders, organizations and other supporters with the vast Philadelphia area union community. This much-needed program, to be administered by PhillyUnions.com (http://phillyunions.com), has been chosen by Philadelphia area union leadership as the Philadelphia area union communitys standard screening and marketing process by which vendors, businesses, professionals and other supporters are officially certified to be union or pro-union then introduced and comprehensively promoted to the entire Philadelphia area union market. Says Patrick Eiding, president of the Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO, "We are optimistic that the obvious benefits and overwhelming demand for the program will lead to a high level of participation on the part of businesses, professionals and organizations, and our union community as a whole." Eiding went on to say the program will help the entire union community by providing visibility and promotion to qualified union-friendly entities while creating a convenient resource for our community to both patronize and support union/union-friendly businesses. According to PhillyUnions.com president Joe Dougherty III, the Pro-Union Preferred Partners Program will fill great and longstanding needs in the union community. "Those interested in soliciting and targeting our union community often face tremendous obstacles introducing and marketing themselves and/or their products and services to even individual unions, let alone the entire market. Until now, Philadelphia area union leaders and members, who want to support and patronize union/pro-union businesses and organizations, have had no convenient, reliable resource or publication to do so." Dougherty believes the Preferred Partners program and network will finally provide the solution to these problems. Unions and AFL-CIO affiliate organizations will promote the Preferred Partners to their members as well as refer potential new Partners to the program. Union members wishing to patronize union/pro-union businesses will be able to search the Pro-Union Preferred Partners Guides by geographic location, business type, etc. for union and union-friendly businesses and professionals, and will also take advantage of discounts and preferred services that Partners will offer exclusively to union members, families and supporters. Proceeds from the Program will fund important Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO endorsed programs including the PhillyUnions.com Public Relations and Media Program, which leverages the talents of the areas top PR professionals and the power of mass media to bring political accountability and to affect union- related issues and legislation.
