Building Working Class Power Across Western MA

The Western MA Area Labor Federation is a coalition of over 60 unions, and serves as the regional body for the AFL-CIO in Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin & Berkshire Counties.

We organize to build strong unions across the area.

Unions are the backbone of working class political power. We are working to build a movement that can take on bosses and win better lives for working families.

Education & Training

The WMALF’s Education Committee runs training programs to support our local unions and develop worker leaders.

Political Action

The WMALF works to elect pro-union, pro-worker candidates across the four counties. We also support ballot measures that will improve conditions for working families.

Union Solidarity

We show up for our affiliate unions and other unions in the area during their contract campaigns and other actions. If you need support, reach out to the organizer!

New Organizing

We work with the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) and our affiliate union organizing departments to bring new workplaces into the Labor Movement.
