“The only effective answer to organized greed is organized labor.”Our organization is a federation of local unions and councils rather than individual union members. However, individuals - union and non-union alike - can join the NC State AFL-CIO by way of the North Carolina Working Families e-Activist network.
For local unions and councils, affiliation with the State Federation brings a host of benefits. Download our brochure to find out if your local union can afford not to be a member of the NC State AFL-CIO.
Two Ways to be a Member:
Join as an Individual
- Become a member of the North Carolina Working Families e-Activist network
- Receive via e-mail the latest updates on issues important to workers
- Engage lawmakers and the press in our online advocacy campaigns
- Get announcements about upcoming events sent directly to your inbox
Join as a Union or Council

- Participate in our unified political and legislative programs
- Attend our meetings, including Convention, Labor School, and Legislative Conference
- Receive solidarity support from other affiliates during tough organizing campaigns and strikes

- any local union of national AFL-CIO members;
