WHAT WE DO
The Minnesota State Retiree Council, AFL-CIO, is the umbrella organization of union retiree clubs and local unions with retirees.  It provides retired union members and spouses official representation within the Minnesota AFL-CIO and enables retired trade unionists to speak with a unified voice on public policy issues.  The Council works with affiliated organizations to coordinate joint activities.  For more details on the structure and governance, select from these options:

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS…

• Union retiree organizations and local unions, including retirees, affiliate with the State Council. 

• Every affiliate is entitled to a member on the Board of Directors and to send delegates to conventions and conferences.  Officers and board members are elected by these delegates.

• The Board meets ten times each year. They plan activities to achieve convention priorities. See strategic plan for details.

• The Council is an affiliate of the Minnesota AFL-CIO and is entitled to delegates and alternates to state federation conventions.

•  Retirees, through the Council, further participate by having the Retiree Council President serve as a Minnesota AFL-CIO Vice President.  For more details, see the By-Laws.
