Labor Organizing

We work closely with our partners at the Louisiana AFL-CIO and its dozens of affiliate unions across the state to serve and support more than 100,000 Louisiana union members and their families through policy, organizing, and communications. Working families are the backbone of our state, and unions are their most powerful tool for influencing politics and policy.


Our team supports the AFL-CIO’s leadership in their statewide work, advises unions and their leaders on political issues, and leads statewide organizing activities that build greater solidarity among working people.

Labor Policy Wins

Louisiana’s working families are impacted by many different types of policies, and not all of them are directly related to labor regulations. Fixing the same problems that everyone faces, like excessive fines and fees, over-aggressive public-sector debt collection practices, unnecessary driver’s license suspensions, inefficient government agencies, and difficulty expunging criminal records of minor crimes that might limit job opportunities, can benefit all Louisianans, and especially our working families.
