Labor & Energy Alliance | The Energy, Education and Awareness Initiative 

The Labor & Energy Alliance is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization comprised of labor and energy industry leaders with a mission to create awareness and better educate the general public and our labor community, while influencing policymakers, on the issues, facts, and situations impacting our traditional energy industries. The Alliance places a strong emphasis on advocating for legislation that supports quality traditional energy projects, family-sustaining jobs, and America’s domestic energy resources.

The Labor & Energy Alliance provides labor and energy leaders with a collaborative platform to communicate, educate, combine resources and network on shared goals and issues while maintaining the independence and autonomy of each participating organization.
