On this day in 1955, the AFL and CIO gathered at our first joint convention. Sixty-four years later, the AFL-CIO has so much to be proud of. Under the leadership of five presidents, the federation has championed critical fights for workplace safety, trade fairness, rising wages, secure retirements and equal pay.
Today, on our 64th anniversary, we also have so much to be grateful for—especially you, for fighting alongside us for all working people. Thanks for everything you do, and here’s to another 64 years. Let’s celebrate!
In Solidarity,
Team AFL-CIO
