Local 1 & AFSCME – We’re Stronger Together
Published on: September 2, 2016
In the coming weeks, we will have an opportunity to join with AFSCME members — the largest public employee union in the nation. By voting yes to affiliate with AFSCME, we gain a stronger voice to fight for better pay, benefits, and working conditions.
What does unity with AFSCME look like?
- 1.6 million members nationwide and 157,000 members across California who have our backs.
- A voice at the Capitol to fight for funding and defeat attacks on our jobs like privatization.
- Additional resources to help us win improvements on the job and enforce our contracts.
- Benefits like a free associate degree for members and their families.
- Membership in a united labor movement to prevent others from dividing us, and much more.
