contract Contract Unit Leaders Unit Leaders

The AFL-CIO is not a union that bargains contracts for employees, but rather a federation of more than 50 affiliated unions.

Together, these unions represent more than 10 million working men and woman in the United States.

The federation has several distinct sections and sponsors many programs, all aimed at advancing social and economic justice for U.S. workers by enabling them to have a say on the job, as well as in their own government and communities.

Currently, about 130 AFL-CIO headquarters and field staff are protected by a contract that is bargained and enforced by the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild.

Your Contract

The collective bargaining agreement, which is a binding contract between the Guild and the AFL-CIO, reflects the collective voice of our bargaining unit over more than 60 years of Guild representation. Wages, hours, and working conditions must all be negotiated with the Guild. The protection and benefits afforded by the union contract were hard won by many workers before us, and through the solidarity of our members we continue to strive for improved working conditions and economic benefits at each round of negotiations.

Know the rights and benefits of your union contract, and use them!
