Linwood McCowin, III

 is Labor Partnership

Award Recipient

The 2008 Labor Partnership Award recipient is Lin McCowin, who has been a union volunteer and community activist for the AFL-CIO Community Services Program for the past 20 years.  He has also been a member of Teamsters Locals 430 and 776 since starting his employment for Consolidated Freightways in 1972.  His union experience included being a former Vice President of Local 430 and serving as a union steward during his working years at Consolidated Freightways.  For the past five years, Lin has volunteered as the director of United Way of York County’s “Drop In Center for the Unemployed.”  Prior to his union involvement, Lin played an integral role in the 1970 York Charrette, an intensive effort to identify crucial problems in the context of social concern for creating and maintaining an improved community.

 

Lin also served on the Charrette’s Housing Task Force and by July of 1970, we was appointed as President of the Housing Council in York.  Lin McGowin is an excellent example of community volunteerism, and embodies the spirit of the Labor Partnership Award.
