The Ohio AFL-CIO was formed in 1958 to battle a right-to-work campaign backed by Ohio Republicans and big businesses. Since that merger of the state’s craft and industrial unions, 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 40 international unions and 1,500 local unions. Along with hundreds of thousands of union retirees, they are the individuals who provide the collective power of the Ohio AFL-CIO.

United Way and the labor movement have enjoyed a beneficial and long-lasting partnership that has engaged hundreds of thousands of working people--union members and non- members alike--in programs that benefit communities across the country, and assisted millions of workers in their time of need.

In recent years, the AFL-CIO and the United Way have undergone organizational changes that have led to an increased focus on developing sustainable solutions to the problems facing working families and communities around the country and creating programs that bring diverse organizations together to advance the common good and address the root causes of social and economic inequality. The United Way and the labor movement share a common vision of prosperous, inclusive, diverse and safe communities where every member of the community has access to a quality public education, fair wages, productive work opportunities, and accessible, affordable, quality healthcare.
