The Kansas Tri-County AFL-CIO is one of nearly 500 state and local labor councils that make up the AFL-CIO and are the heart of the labor movement. The Tri-County AFL-CIO is democratically elected and dedicated to representing the interests of working people at the state and local level in Kansas, with a specific focus on Leavenworth, Johnson, and Wyandotte Counties in Northeastern Kansas. The organization mobilizes its members and community partners to advocate for social and economic justice and strives daily to vanquish oppression and make Kansas communities better for all people—regardless of race, color, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, or ethnic or national origin.
