Work Hard...Play Hard!



That’s the Union Way. When you’re playing hard in the outdoors, you can count on the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance to make your experience even better, while helping to preserve our hunting and fishing heritage.

The USA is a one-of-a-kind, hunting and fishing association of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP) and its trade union partners, exclusively for conservation-minded union members, retirees and their families that hunt, fish and appreciate the outdoors.

American Labor Studies Center


The American Labor Studies Center is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to collect, analyze, evaluate, create and disseminate labor history and labor studies curricula and related materials, aligned to the various state and national standards, to kindergarten through 12th grade teachers nationwide. They will include such areas as the history, organization, activities, and issues affecting the labor movement and the political, economic, and cultural aspects of workers and their unions. It is governed by a Board of Directors and funded by contributions and government grants.

Know Your Rights in the Workplace


Working people have certain basic legal rights in the workplace, such as the right to minimum wages, safe working conditions and to be free from discrimination based on gender or race. But these rights have so many exceptions and loopholes that many workers are left unprotected. Some rights are limited by the size of the employer, length of service or other conditions. Some states have strengthened these protections for workers.

Take Action for Jobs


Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

For America’s workers, three words say it all: jobs, jobs, jobs. The AFL-CIO has a jobs plan, and it’s time for Congress and the White House to act.

Our five-point plan for immediate job creation includes increasing aid to state and local governments to prevent layoffs and maintain vital services, creating jobs by repairing and building infrastructure, and putting TARP funds to work on Main Street, not Wall Street.

Working Families Network


The Working Families Network (WFN) is a network of unions that utilize the Internet to get timely news updates and information to those interested in issues concerning America's workers.

The Florida AFL-CIO


The Florida AFL-CIO is a state federation of approximately 500 local labor unions and labor councils, representing 500,000 workers, retires and their families. We are construction workers, health care professionals, classroom teachers, agricultural workers, hotel and restaurant employees, transportation workers, firefighters, law enforcement and correctional officers. Wherever people work in Florida, across a broad range of trades and professions, you will find our members.

Legislative Update


The "Legislative Update" is a weekly to biweekly (depending on the level of session activity) print publication from the Florida AFL-CIO and the United Labor Lobby (ULL). The "Legislative Update" provides a detailed analysis of legislative actions and follows the efforts of the ULL lobbyists. Each "Legislative Update" is mailed to our affiliates, officers, Legislative Conference attendees, VIPs and others who request to be added to the list. It is also made available for all affiliate union members at our web site.

Buy Union, Shop Union, Use Union Services


The Union Label and Service Trades Department, AFL-CIO, was founded in 1909 to promote the products and services produced in America by union members -- especially those products and services identified by a union label, shop card, store card and service button. We are supported by per capita payments from AFL-CIO National and International Unions.
