Central Labor Councils (CLCs), Assemblies and Area Labor Federations (ALFs) are the local labor movement of the AFL-CIO. Each body covers a geographic area of Massachusetts.

Unions and union members can take collective action through their local bodies and affect their communities. CLCs, Assemblies and the Western MA ALF provide candidate screening and endorsements as well as support for worker organizing and affiliate members.

Please see below for links to each of our CLCs, Assemblies and our ALF and a list of towns that fall under each body's jurisdiction.

Please contact the Western MA ALF for regular meeting information. 

In 2019, delegates of the Pioneer Valley, Hampshire/Franklin, and Berkshire Central Labor bodies voted overwhelmingly to join efforts and form the Western Massachusetts Area Labor Federation. This strategic move has brought new energy to the Western Mass labor movement.
