Organized Labor (OL) is a union-affiliated newspaper published by the San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council (SFBCTC), a regional labor council affiliated with NABTU and the AFL–CIO. Founded in 1900, it is one of the oldest labor publications in the United States and has served as a voice for building and construction trades in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a century.
Contemporary unionists often take for granted the rather boring, thin tabloids that arrive by mail in return for a portion of their dues. In contrast, [Organized Labor] was a wide-ranging forum of opinion and news that mobilized each local building union in California to support the decisions and ambitions of the San Francisco leadership.
