We are writing to express our deep concern over the
possibility of a union boycott against the Aloha United Way
(AU31') and the Combined Federal Campaign (CPC)
It is our understanding that this boycott was prompted
by a recent decision of the CFC National Eligibility Col?unission
which voted to admit the National Right to Work Legal Defense
Fund to the group of agencies eligible try receive charitable
contributions from federal employees under the Combined
Federal Campaign, While we strongly agree with organized
labor that the National Right to Work Legal Defense Fund has
no place in a broad-based charitable appeal like the Combined
Federal Campaign, we are concerned that a boycott of the CFC
and the Aloha United!Way by federal employee unions would
place the success of the Combined Federal Campaign in Hawaii
in jeopardy. Needless to say, the deep cuts made by the
current administration in human service programs have made a
successful AUW/CFC campaign imperative,
As you know, the Aloha United Way is only one of the
many organizations participating in the Combined Federal
Campaign. We have been assured by the Aloha United Way that
none of the funds it receives directly or as undesignated
funds from the CFC will go to the National Right to Work
Legal Defense Fund. The Aloha United Way intends to continue
its past efforts to limit eligibility in the Honolulu Area
CFC to charitabl' ;11encic Ti3rov1i.1n , d1rP-Ct Li1.E.:i1aa Chi;.
services in the fields of health ana welfare.
Under the rules of the Combined Federal Ca - ,r., the
National Right to Work. Legal Defense Fund will only receive`
monies federal and postal employees specifically designate

as contributions to that group. We are informed that th?e
AFL-CIO is urging all federal and postal union members not
to designate this organization as a recipient of any of
their C}'C contributions. Officials of the national United
Way have advised the AFL-CIO that its affiliates will distribute
undesignated funds only to those agencies that have historically
received such funds and not to groups such as the Right to
Work Foundation.
We also pledge to you and the other federal and
postal employees unions that we intend to join other-Members
of Congress and the AFL-CIO in studying the structure of the
Combined Federal Campaign and examining the need to revise
the rules for participation in the program by charitable
organizations.
to cancel the
o a United Way. and the
boycott by your membership of the Aloha'
Combined Federal Campaign. Without your support, and that
of the rest of organized labor. in Hawaii, our State's
voluntary human service organizations will be-unable to
provide vital services to needy citizens of our State.
