Congrats to Justice Allison Riggs on Winning NC Supreme Court Election!

NC State AFL-CIO congratulates Justice Allison Riggs on winning the election to maintain her seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court. After two thorough statewide recounts of all ballots, Justice Riggs won by 734 votes out of over 5.5 million cast. Instead of gracefully conceding, her opponent, Jefferson Griffin, is attempting to throw out tens of thousands of votes—many of which were cast by members of our military—in an attempt to undermine our democratic process.

Congrats to Justice Allison Riggs on Winning NC Supreme Court Election!

Kamala Harris in Raleigh as Union Members Mobilize for Election Day Victories

With only six days until Election Day, the North Carolina AFL-CIO warmly welcomes Vice President Kamala Harris to the Tar Heel State today. Right now, as the campaign fires up attendees in Raleigh, union members across trades and professions are knocking doors, making phone calls and having worksite conversations about how critical this election is for working families. Throughout the state, there are 125,000 union members—a greater number than Donald Trump’s winning edge in 2020. And in an election that is neck and neck, where North Carolina’s 16 electoral college votes will be awarded based on an incredibly slim margin, the labor movement’s state-wide mobilization efforts have the potential to be the deciding factor in turning North Carolina blue.

67th Annual Convention Ends with Union Members Ready to Deliver Victories in November

The 67th Annual Convention of the North Carolina State AFL-CIO adjourned after a day and a half of electrifying speakers, thoughtful discussion on the biggest issues facing working people today, and a powerful recommitment to ensure pro-worker candidates win big this November. From Labor Commissioner and Governor to President of the United States, working people are the ones who will determine this election. And the stakes couldn’t be higher: our freedom to organize, our critical workplace protections and our power in the economy will be decided at our local voting precincts. Which is why after programming came to a close, we wrapped up our convention with a massive canvassing shift that proves just how ready North Carolina’s labor movement is to get out the union vote on Election Day.
