Welcome to our blog page! We are one of 13 chapters of APALA (Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance) in the nation working to expand the labor movement to Asian American union members.
To attend one of our monthly chapter meetings, email apala.seattle@gmail.com. At these chapter meetings, union members come together to discuss local labor events and ideas to expand the labor movement to Asian Americans in the Pacific Northwest. (NOTE: The meetings are not at a set location for each month.)
For more information about APALA, go to www.apalanet.org. To become a member of the Seattle chapter, visit the membership section of the website.
