Who is the WV AFL-CIO?

We are a group of more than 575 affiliated unions joined together for the common cause of fairness for all workers. The future of the working men and women of America depends on a strong, united labor movement. The strength of that movement is in our numbers: thousands of men and women united, striving for the same common goals - fairness, justice, and equality in the workplace.
​
The West Virginia AFL-CIO was created by a convention held in Huntington, West Virginia, in 1957, and was chartered by and affiliated with the national AFL-CIO. At this point, union workers in West Virginia became part of a vast number of union workers from across the nation, now numbering more than 12.2 million workers.
