Comprised of 116,000 active and retired union members from more than 100 locals around West Central Florida, we are one of nearly 500 state and local labor councils of the AFL-CIO and are the heart of the labor movement. We are democratically elected bodies dedicated to represent the interests of working people at the state and local level. We mobilize our members and community partners to advocate for social and economic justice and we strive daily to vanquish oppression and make our communities better for all people—regardless of race, color, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, or ethnic or national origin.

We publish a weekly newsletter, the Weekly Labor Report, which covers national, state, and local labor news. You can subscribe here: https://bit.ly/WCFLC
