The Snohomish & Island County Labor Council and Its Purpose
Established in 1902 (as the Everett Central Labor Council), the Snohomish & Island County Labor Council (SICLC) is the hub where union members come together to advocate labor interests and support one another. These associations strengthen legislative activism and pro-labor policies/political candidates. Members support each other and their unions by keeping each other informed on labor issues, bargaining successes and participation in trade career opportunities.
The SICLC is actively engaged in the community through local food drives, providing school supplies, and participating in civic organizations and boards.
The Labor Council includes more than 60 affiliates representing approximately 42,000 union working families in the two counties. The Council is governed by more than 250 delegates appointed to represent their unions. Those delegates are eligible to be elected to the ten-member Executive Board that oversees the Council's affairs and its fiduciary responsibilities.
Snohomish & Island County Labor Council is an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO).
