History

Since its founding in 1994 as a resource for laid-off union workers, the CFL Workers Assistance Committee has expanded to help all job seekers and workers identify employment opportunities. We have an excellent track record placing thousands of workers in new jobs and helping hem improve their overall quality of life.

Our services range from skills-based jobs matching, resumé preparation, consultation and career counseling to training, referrals and other resources. We speak the languages our clients speak: Chinese, English, Japanese, Polish and Spanish.

The Chicago Federation of Labor (CFL) is the central labor body for over 300 Chicago area unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor – Congress of Industrial Organizations). The membership of these unions exceeds 500,000.
