Last year, my union, the Michigan Education Association, partnered with Eastern Gateway Community College in Ohio to provide all members a last-dollar scholarship program for free associate's degrees. This is what unions are for - standing together to help all working people succeed.
That program has now expanded and is generally available to union members, union retirees and families of union members. The website even suggests that membership in Working America, an organization for people who work in non-union workplaces, might be eligible.
I think that this is a fantastic program because everybody should have the chance at an affordable college education.
