As 2023 comes to a close, several of our Affiliate unions are looking back this week at this year's achievements. Together our Affiliates accomplished an enormous amount — much more than is included here. We look forward to another powerful year of organizing together in 2024.
Wishing you a very happy holiday season,
The Metro Washington Council, AFL-CIO team
