AFSCME

In the midst of last weekend’s historic snow storm, a baby boy needed quick transport to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and there was no way an ambulance could get there on its own. Joe Estes, a highway technician for ODOT and member of OCSEA/AFSCME Local 11, helped save the day. #goodnewsnow #Ohio #publicservice #afscme

AFSCME member Daniel Ellis dedicates his life to making an impact in his community. He strives to help people. That’s what keeps him going. And, that’s why he never quits.

Yup – you read that right. Elon Musk is set to make $100 billion on average, per year, over the next 10 years. That’s more than every single school bus driver or elementary school teacher in America *combined.* Swipe to see how the combined salaries of other public job sectors stack up against Elon Musk. Feeling fired up that anti-union extremists would rather give billionaires like Musk more tax breaks instead of funding public services? Head to the link in our bio to get organized.

Earlier this week, thousands of AFSCME 3299 workers across the University of California system went on STRIKE!

We’re grateful for AFSCME members like Economic Support Specialist Zab Martinez, who works to connect people in need with access to food assistance and health care. With just hours to go until SNAP benefits freeze for 42 million Americans, Zab gives us a snapshot of what things are like on the ground — and people are scared. This is all thanks to the anti-worker lawmakers who forced a shutdown and as a result, cut off access to food assistance for millions. Working families deserve better. Dial 1-888-981-9704 and tell Congress to stop playing games, fund public services and stop the shutdown. #snapcuts #afscme

Anti-worker lawmakers forced a shutdown. Now they are cutting off food assistance. SNAP helps millions of working people put food on the table. Now ,on November 1, 40 million people could lose that support because those same lawmakers refuse to lower health care costs and fund public services. Share this video and take action by calling Congress: 1-888-981-9704 #snap #shutdown

I don't think so honey, green isn't just a color, it's a symbol of strength, solidarity, and service. From sanitation workers and nurses to school staff and public safety workers, our members wear green with pride because we make America happen. Green doesn't belong to one person. It belongs to everyone who shows up, stands strong and gets the job done. 💪🏽💚 #fyp #foryoupage #unionstrong

According to a new study from the Commonwealth Fund, 340,000 jobs will be lost and nearly 5 million people could lose their health insurance if the ACA premium tax credits do not get extended.

On the picket lines in Southern California, AFSCME President Lee Saunders had a message for striking UNAC/UHCP members:  “You are righteous in your struggle. You are righteous in this fight.” This fight is about more than wages; it’s about quality care for patients and respect for workers. A fair contract is what health care workers and patients deserve. #strike #unionstrong #healthcare #union #losangeles
