Greater Glens Falls Central Labor Council (N.Y.)

Historical note: A labor council was organized in Glens Falls, NY, in 1901.

The first AFL-CIO charter was issued for the council in 1959. At this time, the organization was called the Glens Falls, New York, Trades & Labor Assembly, AFL-CIO. The charter was amended in 1969 when the labor council took its current name. A merger between the Glens Falls Central Labor Council and that for Saratoga County was considered in the 1980's but was not completed ostensibly because the Glens Falls council had had the "largest growth of any council in the U.S." and had no need to merge.
