The AFL-CIO blog is profiling an affiliate every week in 2019. The first five profiles shine the spotlight on our members. These quick reads are a concise look at each union.
ILCA unions improve our members’ lives and it’s we — the communications departments — who tell the stories of hard-fought campaigns for justice. We report on these campaigns through our newspapers and communications media, and some of our stories win ILCA Labor Media Awards.
Learn more about our members by reading their AFL-CIO blog profiles, then get a taste of their recent issues by viewing some of the award-winning work they produced.
Combine your reading with a hot cup of coffee, and your #MondayMotivation is served.
