Our redesigned site puts union members front and center and offers many new features that will make it easier to take action for working families and build a vibrant online community. The AFL-CIO Now blog is richer than ever, with commenting functions connected to Facebook and Twitter, “most popular” features and, most importantly, more content contributed by people from across our movement.

Tomorrow, we are launching a new AFL-CIO website and blog with a fresh, clean look and streamlined navigation and search functions that will enable you to find what you need more efficiently across the website and blog.
