Welcome
Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO

Our mission is to improve the lives of working families--to bring economic justice to the workplace and social justice to our nation.

The Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO is comprised of 120 different labor unions affiliated with the National AFL-CIO. Its mission is to bring social and economic justice to working people by giving them a voice on the job, in politics, and in the community. We represent the interests of more than 100,000 working families in Philadelphia, and we are committed to improving the quality of life for all residents.

The Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO is committed to strengthening the union movement by educating and motivating union members, supporting the right of workers to join unions, organizing new members, and creating a powerful new political voice that speaks for workers.

Three officers, guided by a 40-member Executive Board and Trustees, manage the Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO. Our elected board members and trustees represent the leadership of Philadelphia's organized labor movement.

To carry out its mission, the Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO has a dedicated staff and many active committees. Our standing committees include: Finance, Community Service, Arts, Sciences & Entertainment, Education & Training, Employee Assistance, Membership & Organizing, Roundtable, Public Sector, Rapid Response, Retirees and Targeting.
