Texas AFL-CIO

Texas AFL-CIO We’re the state labor federation representing 250,000+ union members. We fight for all Texas workers! We work the early shift and the late shift.

We are teachers, firefighters and farm workers, actors and engineers, pilots and public employees, painters and plumbers, steelworkers and screenwriters, doctors and nurses, stagehands, electricians and more. We are the unemployed, students and retirees. We believe that people who work make Texas work and that together, we are better.

Together, we helped Houston residents (and families of union members!) complete their citizenship application!

Texans work hard, regardless of their status. Now more than ever, immigrant workers are a critical part of our economy and labor movement! ✊🏽

This Women’s History Month, we’re honoring some of the labor leaders who helped shape the Texas labor movement.

Linda Chavez-Thompson is a living legend – a force of nature who shattered the glass ceiling in the local, state, and national labor movement. As the first woman and first person of color elected to leadership at the AFL-CIO, she championed stronger unions, inclusive immigration policies, and higher wages for all workers.

This month and every month, we honor Linda for her ingenuity, leadership, and unwavering commitment to Texas workers.

Progress never comes easy, but a new generation of Texas labor leaders is stepping up. We can honor our past by building on its foundation — and fighting for every worker!
