San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council, AFL-CIO
WORKING PEOPLE STANDING TOGETHER
When Workers Stand Together - We Win!
At the Labor Council, we believe that ALL workers deserve a voice on the job. Together, we fight for higher wages and quality healthcare, housing that is affordable and
equal pay for equal work. We represent workers from a wide variety of industries
and professions who want a seat at the negotiating table and in the halls of power.
We are firefighters standing with teachers, nurses and construction tradespeople standing with home healthcare aides, and professors standing with hotel workers.
We are grocery workers walking shoulder to shoulder with truck drivers, hospital techs, janitors and zoo employees.
Our power is in our ability to come together and fight for one another,
and for all working people.
San Diego was traditionally a conservative, Navy-centered town with anti-union,
anti-worker sentiments.As union membership decreased, politicians blamed public employee pensions for
financial issues and supported outsourcing and anti-labor policies.A new generation of labor leaders, along with seasoned organizers, demanded change through relentless activism.
Despite challenges, they emphasized the importance of solidarity and perseverance
in the labor movement.San Diego has transformed into a union town, symbolizing the power of collective
action and determination in achieving labor rights.
Build Worker Power
We build the power of workers at the negotiating table, in the halls of government and at the ballot box. Billionaires and big corporations are fighting every day to pay workers less, and take away our right to a voice on the job.
We bring workers together to fight back.
