What Is the ADC Labor Council?

The ADC Labor Council was formed under the Arizona Fraternal Order of Police Labor Council. The Arizona Labor Council is a unique statewide law enforcement labor union created by the Fraternal Order of Police, Arizona State Lodge, Inc., for the express purpose of addressing law enforcement related labor issues in all respects. The ADC Labor Council is the Executive Committee for ALC members who are employees at the Arizona Department of Corrections.

OBJECTIVES

The Fraternal Order of Police, Arizona Labor Council, Inc., ("FOP/ALC") is dedicated to the betterment of law enforcement personnel through representation of its members in constitutional, labor relations, bargaining and other legal matters. The ALC will:

• Act as the bargaining agent for members and representative committees.
• Engage in collective activities for the purpose of improving wages, hours, and conditions of employment and advancing the rights and promoting the security of the members.
• Receive, manage, invest, expend and otherwise use monies and property to achieve the objectives set forth in the ALC Constitution.
• Furnish services to all individuals, groups or bodies as required to further the aims and purposes of the ADC Labor Council.
• Unite, represent, defend, and promote the interests of all members.
• Cooperate with other organizations interested in promoting the efficiency, professionalism and well being of our members.

The ADC Labor Council is the unified labor component of all three ADC F.O.P. Lodges (Lodge 44 - Located in the Phoenix Metro Area, 61 in the Winslow Area and Lodge 62 in the Tucson area) and a bargaining unit affiliate of the Arizona Labor Council. The ADC Labor Council is made up of ADC employees who are ALC members.

Though distinctly separate in mission from the fraternal and social side of the F.O.P., the ADC Labor Council, nonetheless, affords its members all the benefits of membership, as well as those benefits associated with our affiliation with the F.O.P./Arizona Labor Council (FOP/ALC). Access to all national, state, and local F.O.P. provided benefits, security for you and your family through the superior legal defense plan offered by the FOP/ALC and our professional attorneys are just a few advantages of membership.

Nationwide, through its leadership and network of statewide Labor Councils, the F.O.P. has developed into the most effective labor organization in the country. From the bottom-up, its elected leaders carry the voices of the more than 350,000 members to Washington D.C. The voice of ADC employees must also be heard in Washington, and there is no other organization better qualified to represent them.

This is your opportunity to make a positive change. Allow the ADC Labor Council to be your representative. Let us show you we can deliver what you deserve, professional representation, which is truly responsive to your needs. The ADC Labor Council wants to represent you.
