![]() Cindy | Cynthia Hall, President Florida AFL-CIO Cindy was elected to the office of President of the Florida AFL-CIO in September 2001 by the delegates to the 2001 Biennial Convention and subsequently re-elected in 2005. In a press release following her installation as President, she promised to "work even harder than we have in the past to include all unions large and small in our legislative efforts. We will make sure that Florida's elected leaders understand that the state's workers stand united in the struggle to make government more accountable to Florida's working families." She also pledged that, "Florida is about to see a labor community more energized than ever. We will aggressively participate in every aspect of the lawmaking process with a coordinated campaign of electoral, legislative and grassroots action to ensure that Florida's workers are at the forefront when public policy decisions are made." The Florida AFL-CIO has seen unprecedented growth in the years since Cynthia was first elected, and in 2006 was appointed by AFL-CIO national President John Sweeney to the Advisory Committee on State Federations and Central Councils. |
