For the past four years, the Executive Council of the AFL-CIO, which is the governing body of the federation between conventions, has coordinated the work of our movement to reverse the growing power of giant corporations and special interests, while advancing the crucial needs of working families and driving programs to build a people-powered future for America.
We deployed multiple approaches to grow and strengthen our movement. We seized opportunities to make working family priorities central in our nation and the global economy. And we worked to build a unified labor movement with the power to take on the tremendous challenges before us.
The AFL-CIO Executive Council is constitutionally charged with reporting on the activities of the AFL-CIO and its affiliates to each convention. It is with great respect for the delegates to our 26th Constitutional Convention that we present this report on highlights of the past four years.
