About Us

Our central labor council is a coalition of local unions. It is the official organization of the National AFL-CIO in Central Alabama.

The goals of the Central Alabama Labor Federation, AFL-CIO are social and economic justice. Achievement of these goals is made possible through the collective strength of our affiliates. By combining the talent, energy, activism, and sense of justice of all our affiliates, the Central Labor Council seeks to promote legislation that will enable the government to be responsive to the needs of working people and their families. The Central Labor Council seeks to:

• recommend and support legislation that will secure and promote collective bargaining, the rights of workers, and the security and welfare of all people;
  
• help workers and local unions to secure improved wages, hours, and working conditions;

• promote and encourage all unorganized workers to join unions;

• promote the sale and use of union made goods and union services through the use of the union label;

• encourage workers to register and vote, to exercise their full rights and responsibilities of citizenship and to perform their rightful role in the political life of their local, state, and national communities;

• unify and coordinate the efforts of AFL-CIO unions and serve as a representative on issues that affect our members as workers and as citizens.
