Election 08

together as one
Together as one the Ohio AFL-CIO unites hundreds of thousands of working families across Ohio to promote middle class values. We join together over 650,000 union members to make our voice heard in the legislature and at the ballot box.

The Ohio AFL-CIO represents 1,600 local unions across the state from 48 different international unions. We are firefighters and factory workers, electricians and educators, plumbers and postal workers, miners and municipal employees—and we stand together as one with the Ohio AFL-CIO.
