AFL-CIO Delegates Deliver on Diversity Pledge

Four years ago, the delegates at the 2005 AFL-CIO Convention in Chicago approved an historic resolution to bring more women, more minorities and more young people into the ranks and leadership of the 56-union labor federation. This week, as the 2009 AFL-CIO Convention gets underway in Pittsburgh, PA, fully 43 percent of the delegates and alternate delegates are women and people of color.
