Question about definition of labor organizations

Hi,

My nonprofit will be applying for a Pathways Out of Poverty grant. The RFP requires partnerships with each of the following:

·        Nonprofit organizations with access to targeted populations

·        Public workforce system

·        Education and training community

·        Public and private employers and industry-related organizations

·        Labor organizations

We work in some rural areas that don't have organized labor. Do you know if the definition of "labor organzations" is only unions or is it defined some other way?

Thanks,
Jane

From BlueGreen Research Institute: Labor organizations can also be a home builder's association or other business people that band together. If there are no unions in your area, we recommend finding a state or national affiliate to connect with.
