PIMA AREA LABOR FEDERATION

As the AFL-CIO Area Labor Federation for Pima County, the Pima Area Labor Federation represents thousands of union members through its political and organizing programs. Founded in 2003, the Federation works with local and national labor and community organizations around policies and initiatives in support of worker rights. PALF works closely with the Arizona AFL-CIO in implementing the New Alliance Program for strength and solidarity across our labor movement.

PALF coordinates Pima Counties unions’ political endorsements and activities. These include:

• Labor-Neighbor Program to register, educate and mobilize the Labor Vote
• Policy Advocacy and Political Strategy
• Candidate Educational Briefings and a Unified Endorsement Process for Municipal Offices

PALF provides essential support for local unions in organizing drives and contract campaigns. We network for labor-community solidarity, progressive policy and member education programs with organizations and coalitions.

PALF conducts trainings and education programs for union members on Common Sense Economics, Organizer Training & Strategy, Politics 101, and Labor-Neighbor Political Activism.
