Official statements, strike updates, collective bargaining dispatches, and public policy alerts from the West Virginia AFL-CIO communications bureau.
Amid discussion of national debt, taxation and job funding, the West Virginia AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) is speaking out about the impending loss of unemployment insurance benefits.

"When working men and women stand united across our valleys and hollows, there is no legislative hurdle we cannot overcome and no picket line we cannot hold."
