About Us

The M. L. King County Labor Council, AFL-CIO, is the central body of labor organizations in King County, Washington. We are affiliated with the National AFL-CIO, the central labor organization in the United States, representing more than 13 million working people. Over 150 organizations belong to the Council, and more than 75,000 working men and women belong to Council-affiliated organizations. United, we are a voice for the interests and needs of working people in King County.

The core responsibilities of the M. L. King County Labor Council are to assist workers and their unions in the struggle for social and economic justice; support efforts to organize and bargain fair contracts; lobby, endorse and involve working people in the political process; advocate and support laws that protect working people; support community services outreach work; and unite with community allies who are also struggling for justice. 

Are you an unemployed worker or facing foreclosure on your home?
We want to hear from you.


Want to help Occupy Seattle?


Join the Occupy Seattle Labor Caucus!

The Occupy Seattle Labor Caucus is a dedicated group of grassroots labor activists who are committed to supporting Occupy actions which advance the cause of the labor movement and local working families. The Labor Caucus is a place to bridge the gap between Labor and Occupy by learning more about the structure and purpose of the Occupy movement, helping Occupy to hear the voices of organized labor in Seattle, and bringing the message framework of the 99% to a broader audience in the community.
 
More now than ever, we need your help!
 
The Next Occupy Seattle Labor Caucus meeting will be held on January 4th, 6:00 – 7:30pm at the Seattle Labor Temple.
 
If you have any thoughts or questions, don’t hesitate to contact Max Brown: 206 441 7102, or max@mlkclc.org
  Unemployed? Facing foreclosure? Share your story


In 2012, there will be many, many political and legislative fights to be waged. The most powerful tool we have to convince politicians and the general public to support issues that help working families in King County are our stories. A personal story is the one thing that can cut through the rhetoric and cynicism that too often pervades our political system. We want to hear from you. We need your voices to make the case in Olympia during legislative session this year. We need your voices to make sure the media is focusing on worker issues during the 2012 election season. We need your voices to help us secure victories for our champions in office in November. 

Please click here to share your story. We look forward to hearing from you!
