So You Want to Form a Union?

You’ve come to the right place! Alaska’s labor movement is ready to help you stand together with your coworkers and form a union.

Workers are stronger when we stand together, and forming a union empowers you and your coworkers to stand up for better pay, safe working conditions, and benefits like a secure retirement.

Through a union you can fight retaliation, racial discrimination, sexual harassment, and more in your workplace. It’s simple: Forming a union ensures a fair return on your work along with the dignity and respect on the job we all deserve.

Take the next step: Tell us about yourself and your job and we’ll connect you with a union organizer who can support you and your coworkers in forming a union:

The Alaska AFL-CIO is a federation of labor unions that represent over 50,000 union members across Alaska. We fight every day to uplift the dignity of work and improve the lives of all workers across the 49th state.

In 2023, we launched a new suite of tools to help empower workers to form unions. This website is a culmination of those efforts to bring democracy to every workplace in Alaska.
