POLITICAL EDUCATION

Today’s unions are a voice for working families in our communities, government and in politics.  The Colorado AFL-CIO advocates for the rights of workers --both union and non-union-- to help ensure that Colorado has a strong workforce and a strong economy.  We are a strictly non-partisan organization that focuses on the issues that impact working families.

Learn more about the agenda for all America that today’s unions are fighting for and take action in one of our e-campaigns.  Just click one of the links on the left side of your screen to find out what we’re fighting for today.
