    Background and Activities

    The NC State AFL-CIO was founded in 1957, 4 two years after the 1955 merger of its national counterpart. 5 North Carolina has been a right to work state since before the NC State AFL-CIO was formed, meaning workers cannot be compelled to pay union fees as a condition of employment in the state. 6

    The NC State AFL-CIO membership includes eight Central Labor Councils that work in a particular geographic area within the state. 7 The organization supports labor strikes in North Carolina, as well as progressive policy priorities such as a $15 minimum wage. 8 It frequently attacks North Carolina Republican officials while endorsing Democratic candidates in North Carolina, including judicial candidates. 9 10 11

    The organization’s 2020 Annual Report claimed credit for the re-election of Gov. Roy Cooper (D) and other statewide progressive officials and for flipping of two congressional seats from Republican to Democratic after court-ordered redistricting altered the districts’ boundaries. 12

    The NC State AFL-CIO is led by MaryBe McMillan, a veteran North Carolina labor union operative. 13

    Funding

    In 2019, the NC State AFL-CIO received $848,396 in revenue, of which nearly 80 percent was from program service revenue. 4 It spent $31,903 on political campaign activity in 2019. 4
