Make a donation to the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center's Earthquake Relief* for Haitian Workers' campaign and Union Plus will match your donation dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000.

The non-profit Solidarity Center is an AFL-CIO partner organization that supports programs and projects aimed at advancing worker rights and promoting broad-based, sustainable economic development. The center’s Education Fund works with union and community partners to respond quickly to natural disasters and aid displaced workers.

Your donation will help rush life-saving relief supplies including food, clean water, medical supplies, blankets and tents to the Haitian people. Goods are currently being delivered to the Confederation of Haitian Workers training center, which is providing shelter, food, and medical assistance to more than 200 people.

President Obama's  budget backs six-day delivery:

President Obama’s fiscal 2011 budget proposal requires the continuation of six-day delivery by the Postal Service. The administration also promises to work with postal unions and other stakeholders to keep the Postal Service strong for years to come. In setting the amount for “revenue forgone” to cover the costs of free and reduced rate mail, the spending plan says payments will be made “provided that 6-day delivery and rural delivery of mail shall continue at not less than the 1983 level....” Looking to the future, the proposal, submitted to Congress on February 1, states, “The Administration will work with the Postal Service, its employee unions, the Congress, and other stakeholders to make sure the Postal Service (remains) a pillar of the American economy and a vital public resource through the current crisis and over the long haul.”
