Supporting candidates who support working families is a core function of the Ohio AFL-CIO and its affiliate unions. Together as one, we work to educate members and elect candidates that support working family issues, like jobs, healthcare, pensions, and education.

The Ohio AFL-CIO will continue to build on its past success in educating members and electing pro-worker candidates by refining its already successful mobilization efforts.
