"One thing I want everyone to know about unions is that we are a brotherhood and a sisterhood. There are so many people like us in the same situation who are fighting for humanity, dignity, and respect for our hard work. Everyone deserves that.

Adopted 68th Annual Convention Resolutions

In September at the 68th Annual Convention of the North Carolina AFL-CIO, delegates approved six resolutions to guide the federation's future work. Resolutions were adopted in the areas of organizing, policy, politics, racial justice, farm labor, and coordinated mass action in 2028. State fed staff is working with our Executive Board to turn these resolutions into actions so North Carolina workers get the respect, security, and power they deserve.
