Three years ago, Joe Delaley, the United Way of Allegheny County Representative from the Allegheny County Labor Council called our Business Manager, Jeff Davis, to ask for our union to get more involved in the jointly run United Way campaign of Duquesne Light and Local 29. Jeff approached Duquesne Light Company’s CEO Morgan O’Brien to discuss the union’s involvement in the campaign. The 2008 United Way Committee of union and company solicitors was reformed and the first United Way Solicitor’s Committee meeting was held in October of 2008. The committee met and discussed what it would take to get the membership back involved in the campaign. The committee agreed that the way the United Way meetings were done in the past was the best. Having general meetings, followed by one on one solicitation was the key for our members to see and understand what the United Way was and what the United Way did with the money they received from our members contributions.
