ABOUT THE LABOR COUNCIL

The 200,000 working families of the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council improve the lives of working people by standing together and fighting for each other. Our members come from a broad array of sectors and professions. We are nurses, teachers, firefighters, retail workers, truck drivers, construction tradespeople, grocery employees, domestic workers, janitors, stagehands, college professors and more.

OUR MISSION

Rebuilding the Middle Class Together.

We fight to ensure every worker has a voice on the job and at the negotiating table. With that voice, we stand up to our bosses to secure better wages, healthcare, retirement security, and fair treatment.

But our power doesn’t stop there. We bring our collective strength into the halls of government, where union workers are a formidable force for change. We work tirelessly to make housing more affordable, improve education, and lower healthcare costs. We demand justice, dignity, and equality for every
working family.

Our community—comprising workers, delegates, e-board members, and staff—empowers workers
daily. Together, we sign quality contracts, elect pro-worker leaders, and pass laws that prioritize the
needs of workers.

LABOR COUNCIL DELEGATES

Delegates are the worker leaders that make up the Labor Council’s ultimate decision making body. They attend monthly meetings as representatives of their local unions.
Voting on everything from the leadership of our organization and our annual budget to the candidates and policies we endorse, they are the voice of workers in our “union of unions”.
