Shortly after the American Federation of Labor (AFL) was established in 1886, the Ohio Federation of Labor was born to collectively advance the interests of trade unionists and working families. The Ohio AFL-CIO was formed in 1958 to battle a right-to-work campaign in support of Ohio’s workers. Since then, the Ohio AFL-CIO has been at the forefront of struggles for political power and economic and social justice for working families.
Our strength derives from 600,000 union men and women who are affiliated with the Ohio AFL-CIO through 41 international unions and 1,500 local unions. Along with hundreds of thousands of union retirees and members of our community affiliate Working America, these are people who embody the collective power of the Ohio AFL-CIO.
Our 600,000 union members across both the private and public sectors—powering industry and commerce while delivering essential public services in all 88 counties, are what makes Ohio a great place to live, work and raise a family. The founding Convention of the American Federation of Labor was hosted in Columbus.
