What’s a DLC?

Each District Labor Council (DLC) is a local chapter of Local 1000. Think of a DLC as direct leaders for your work site.  DLC Leaders are responsible for moving union programs, engaging members, and building the power of our union in each local area. 

There are 51 District Labor Councils within Local 1000, and each DLC president sits on the Local 1000 governing board.
