As of 2024, 60 unions are members. The two largest members (and, not surprisingly, the most liberal) are the [[American Federation of Teachers]] (AFT) and the [[AFSCME|American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees]] (AFSCME). Also, the players' unions of [[Major League Baseball]] and the [[National Football League]] are affiliated unions (the unions for the NBA and the NHL are not).

Among unions that are not affiliated with the AFL-CIO are the [[Teamsters]]; the union has been a member, removed for corruption, welcomed back into the group, and left on its own accord to form a completing federation.
