Iowa Central Labor Councils can take advantage of a unique educational program offered by the Iowa Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO. (click here for more information on the IFL's educational programs.)

The Iowa Federation of Labor will cover Labor Center fees for four central body programs in a calendar year. The Central Labor Council is responsible only for a small cost for participant materials. To receive State Federation reimbursement, the CLC must guarantee 20 participants.

• Organizing
