Over 80,000 union members--both active and retired--from more than 80 unions have made the Tampa Bay area their home.
Composed of delegates from affiliated local unions, our Central Labor Council works to improve the lives of working families right here in our communities and neighborhoods through legislative and political action and organizing support.
Take Action
VA Employees are facing a contract which would strip away many of their collective bargaining rights and cut official time by over 90%. In Tampa, our sisters and brothers from AFGE Local 547, employees of the James A. Haley VA Hospital, will rally outside the hospital on Saturday, June 29th from 11AM - 1PM. The local will be providing lunch. We hope that you can make it to stand in solidarity with them against this horrible contract.
A proposal to privatize custodial services in Hillsborough County Public Schools is under consideration by administrators and the school board.Arequest for proposals (RFP) has been generated, and the school district is actively seeking bids. The stated purpose of this move is to save money. This proposal is bad for our employees, bad for our public schools, and bad for the children we serve.
