Executive Council

The AFL-CIO Executive Council meets at least twice a year to consider important union movement business and policies. The council regularly issues statements on legislative measures affecting the interests of working families, ongoing struggles for justice for workers and more.

This website includes Executive Council actions from 1995 to date. New statements are posted the day they are issued by the council.
