Union Types

Local: The unit members belong to directly, usually covering one workplace, employer or area. Some unions call it a branch, lodge, chapter or division, as in SEIU Local 32BJ or NALC Branch 36.
Joint Council: Brings together the locals of one union in a region to coordinate bargaining, organizing and politics, as in Teamsters Joint Council 16. Some unions call it a joint board.
District Council: A regional or statewide body of one union's locals that often bargains or runs programs for them, as in AFSCME District Council 37 or a Carpenters regional council.
Trades Council: Joins locals of different unions in the building or metal trades in one area, such as a county Building and Construction Trades Council.
Central Labor Council: Joins locals of different unions in a city, county or region, usually chartered by the AFL-CIO, as in the New York City Central Labor Council.
State Federation: A statewide federation: a state AFL-CIO that joins many unions, or one union's statewide federation or association of its locals, such as an AFT state federation.
State Body: One union's statewide council, conference or legislative board, which coordinates that union's locals in the state.
National or International: The parent union that charters locals and councils and negotiates national contracts. Unions with members in Canada call themselves internationals.
Other: Committees and other bodies that file their own reports but fit none of the types above.
