SFIC Welcomes SF Labor Council Director Kim Tavaglione,
Executive Director of the San Francisco Labor Council
Kim Tavaglione is a leader in the labor movement in San Francisco, working to bring economic and social justice to the workplace and ensure all workers are treated with dignity. Kim spent years as a union organizer, representing public, private, and nonprofit workers, before joining the San Francisco Labor Council as its Campaign Director in 2018.
In 2020, Kim moved into the role of Executive Director of the Council, becoming the first woman and first woman of color to lead the Council. In her role as Executive Director, Kim uses her leadership and experience to assist affiliates with strategy development and build worker power through political education and action, economic development in San Francisco, union organizing, community service, and educational programs for the community.
The SFLC is the local body of the AFL-CIO and was chartered in 1893 to be the coordinating regional body for labor cooperation and unity. We are a membership organization serving as a coalition of the Labor Community in San Francisco. Over 150 unions are affiliated with the SFLC, representing more than 100,000 union members and their families.
The mission of the SFLC is to improve the lives of workers, their families, and our community – to bring economic justice to the workplace and social justice to the nation. We accomplish this mission by working to build worker power through political education and action, economic development in San Francisco, union organizing, a community service and training program, and educational programs for the community.
