ABOUT US
The North Valley
Labor Federation
The North Valley Labor Federation is a partnership between labor unions in San Joaquin, Calaveras, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced and Mariposa Counties. Collectively we represent over 100,000 workers in virtually every sector, including health care workers, educators, nurses, firefighters, laborers, electrical workers, construction workers, service workers, public employees, and many more. We build power for working families because we believe all workers deserve good jobs with fair pay, access to affordable health care, and the opportunity to retire with dignity.
