About Us

We are one of nearly 500 state and local labor councils of the AFL-CIO and are the heart of the labor movement. We are democratically elected bodies dedicated to represent the interests of working people at the state and local level. We mobilize our members and community partners to advocate for social and economic justice and we strive daily to vanquish oppression and make our communities better for all people—regardless of race, color, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, or ethnic or national origin.

Native Land Acknowledgement 

The Pierce County Central Labor Council sends gratitude to the Puyallup Tribe and all Coast Salish Peoples upon whose ancestral lands we reside and work. We commit to uplifting the voices, experiences, and histories of the Indigenous people of this land and beyond. 

Code of Conduct

This organization is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination and harassment. We have adopted a Code of Conduct and expect everyone to abide by it. We ask affiliates to embrace our values of equity and equality and to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with those values.
