A.The MNA is an independent union and is not a part of the AFL-CIO. The AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Unions) is an umbrella group of 56 labor unions representing 10.5 million working Americans. The current President is John J. Sweeney. The stated mission is “to bring social and economic justice to our nation by enabling working people to have a voice on the job, in government, in a changing global economy and in their communities.” Each state has an AFL-CIO federation and Central Labor Councils (CLC). The MNA is active in a number of the CLCs despite not being affiliated with the AFL-CIO.
