About Us

Merrimack Valley Central Labor Council

Working together to support workers, strengthen unions, and build power for working families across the Merrimack Valley

The Merrimack Valley Central Labor Council brings local unions together to improve the lives of working families throughout the region. We advocate for policies that support workers, organize grassroots action, partner with community organizations, and help union members build the skills and power needed to make a difference in their workplaces and communities.

As a coalition of local unions representing thousands of union members and their families, we create a space for labor leaders and activists to come together, share concerns, coordinate action, and stand in solidarity with workers across the Merrimack Valley.
