labor councils
Union coordinating bodies
Labor councils are regional organizations that coordinate union activities within a geographic area, typically a city or county.
They bring together representatives from different local unions to advocate for workers on issues like wages, working conditions, and political action.
The labor council endorsed candidates for the city council race.
Also called central labor councils or trades councils.
