  • AFL-CIO The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) is a voluntary federation of 54 national and international labor unions. This site has a tremendous amount of information.
  • Michigan AFL-CIO The Michigan State AFL-CIO was formed in 1958 with the merger of two organizations: the state American Federation of Labor and the Michigan Congress of Industrial Organizations.  We know that whatever we gain through collective bargaining, we can lose through government action. That's why we must be involved in politics and lobbying, and the most effective mechanism for doing that in our state is the Michigan State AFL-CIO. That's our mission.
  • Working America, a community affiliate of the AFL-CIO, is a powerful force for working people, combining the strength of 10 million union men and women and millions of workers without the benefit of a workplace union who share common challenges and goals to fight in communities, states and nationally for what really matters--good jobs, affordable health care, world-class education, secure retirements, real homeland security and more.  Working America uses professional research, communication, education, canvassing, lobbying and community organizing to demand that politicians address the priorities that matter most to working people--not just wealthy special interests.
  • American Rights at Work  American Rights at Work is led by former Congressman David Bonior and has excellent information on companies that try to thwart workers' rights and what it is doing to help all workers win justice in the workplace.
  • American Economic Alert  AmericanEconomicAlert.org was founded by the U.S. Business and Industry Council Educational Foundation, a not-for-profit research and educational organization dedicated to improving the American people's awareness of critical public policy issues in such diverse fields as trade, taxation, education, health care, foreign relations, defense, and national security, among others.
  • Big Labor  A clearinghouse for all kinds of labor information.

  • National Partnership for Women and Families  For 35 years, the National Partnership has been changing the world in ways that make life better for women and families. From outlawing sexual harassment to prohibiting pregnancy discrimination to giving more than 50 million Americans family and medical leave, they have fought for every major policy advancement that has helped women and families in the last three decades. Their goal is to create a society that is free, fair and just. Where nobody has to experience discrimination, all workplaces are family-friendly, and no family is without quality, affordable health care and real economic security.
