Broken Promises, a Botched Response and a Better Way Forward

Working families deserve a leader who will focus on “we, the people,” not just on the person they see in the mirror. Only Vice President Joe Biden can be that president. I’ve known Joe for 40 years. He loves his family, loves working people and loves our country. His “Made in America” plan will revitalize America's manufacturing in a way Trump never could. Biden doesn’t only have the best plan to beat the virus and help workers recover financially—he is the only candidate for president with a plan at all. And with a Biden administration, we’ll finally pass the PRO Act, allowing workers to join a union freely and fairly.

Take Action

Save the Postal Service - Huntsville

The North Alabama Area Labor Council stands in solidarity with our community who depends on the post office and the postal service workers and are therefore calling on our member unions and the entire labor movement to support them in their fight against the sabotage and austerity being inflicted on the postal service. 

Come to the front of the Clinton Avenue Post Office on Tuesday, August 25th from 2 to 4pm to demonstrate and show support.

AFL-CIO Head Richard Trumka Says Union Support for Biden Was Strong

Democrat Joe Biden gained more of the vote from members of the AFL-CIO than Hillary Clinton did four years ago, its president said, crediting laborers for the party’s wins in key states.

"Simply put, we got out the vote," AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka told reporters Thursday. "In Wisconsin, in Michigan, in Pennsylvania, Joe Biden's firewall was union made. And the labor movement is expanding the map--look at Arizona, look at Georgia."
