PIMA AREA LABOR FEDERATION

Pima Area Labor Federation, AFL-CIO is an expression of the hopes and aspirations of the working people in this country. At the dawn of the new millennium, we proclaim a New Alliance to improve the lives of and increase power for working families, bring fairness and dignity to the The Pima Area workplace and secure social equity. We will prevail by mobilizing our members to support our cause and building a strong, diverse, free and democratic labor movement.

We will organize workers into unions, allied by common purposes and mutual reliance. We will recruit generations of organizers, amass resources to substain their efforts and inspire workers to achieve dignity and security through organization and collective bargaining. We will generate broad understanding among our members of the necessity of organizing among our members, our leaders and all unorganized workers.

We will give political voice to workers in our area. We will fight for a public policy agenda favorable to working families at all levels of government. We will assemble a broad progressive coalition for social and economic justice. We will create a political force with the labor movement that will speak forcefully and persuasively on the public issues that affect our lives. We will establish unions as active forces in our communities. We will build Union Cities to make the voices of working families heard in our neighborhoods. We will strengthen the ties of labor with our allies. We will speak out effectively and creatively on behalf of all workers in our communities.
