The Florida AFL–CIO (American Federation of Labor – Congress of Industrial Organizations) is a statewide federation of labor unions in the state of Florida affiliated with the AFL-CIO, which holds as part of its membership, over 450 local unions totaling over 1-million current and retired members. Originally founded in 1958, the goal like most unions is to provide better lives for all workers through political and legislative action, grassroots mobilization and education. Part of the appeal of the Florida AFL-CO is it is not limited to just one branch of state labor, but various branches. This includes construction workers, health care professionals, classroom teachers, agricultural workers, hotel and restaurant employees, transportation workers, firefighters, law enforcement and correctional officers.
