LIFE IS BETTER IN A UNION
It’s Time to Have a Voice at Work
You show up every day to deliver the public services our communities rely on. You solve problems, support families, and keep essential systems running. You deserve respect for that work.
But without a union, too many workers face unfair workloads, unsafe conditions, and decisions made without their input. The people doing the job are the ones left out of the conversation.
AFSCME puts the power back where it belongs: in the hands of workers.
By organizing together, AFSCME members secure:
- Better pay and benefits
- A fair process and protection on the job
- Stronger safety standards and staffing
- A meaningful voice in workplace decisions
Being a union member means standing with coworkers, fighting for fairness, and ensuring the work you do is respected and valued.
If you believe in dignity, fairness, and having a say in your workplace, you belong in AFSCME.
