In August, a call went out to Buffalo’s Labor Unions from the City’s Fruit Belt neighborhood – an elderly woman desperately
needed help. Her Mulberry home, a structure that has sat in this historic community since 1880, was in dire need of repair before Winter came a calling. Now, just a few months later, JoAnn Anderson is marveling at what has been accomplished – compliments of the Buffalo AFL-CIO Central Labor Council and several of its Affiliated Member Unions – as well as several more from the Buffalo Building & Construction Trades Council and the Coalition for Economic Justice (CEJ).
