The United Labor Lobby provides a way for unions to work together during the legislative session. The Florida AFL‑CIO and its union affiliates form the core of the coalition. Others with similar interests sometimes join in the combined efforts.
Each year lobbyists who are sponsored by industrial, building trades, service and public employee unions work on legislation that relates specifically to their unions' interests, as well as general labor legislation. Through the United Labor Lobby, the union lobbyists share information, take specific lobbying assignments and coordinate committee testimony. Following is a list of the ULL lobbyists who are participating in the 2007 Legislative Session.
