Alabama AFL-CIO
Central Labor Councils
 
There are 9 Central Labor Councils (CLC's) in Alabama with jurisdictional areas from 3 to 14 counties each. Local Unions affiliate with the CLC's to carry out programs of the AFL-CIO.

CLC's help local unions in their jurisdiction with organizing, community services, civil rights issues, voter registration and education of the members they serve. They encourage the sale and use of union made products and strive to increase public understanding of the labor movement.

CLC's screen and endorse candidates running for office within their jurisdiction. They also screen and make recommendations for state house and state senate endorsements to the Alabama AFL-CIO. They lobby local politicians on issues and concerns to workers in their jurisdiction.
