Love is in the air... and there is one love more powerful, more celebrated throughout history, more written about by poets than any other. Not a parent's love for their child or the first bloom of young romance. It is, of course, a worker’s love for their union.

Learn more about why the love for unions is the greatest love of all.

Why do working people love unions so much? Because unions are working people, standing together, fighting for a better life for each other and our families.

Unions fight for economic prosperity, for equality, for justice, and to give a voice to the people in our society who need it the most.

And AFSCME members? We belong to the biggest, baddest, best union of them all; a union made up of people who spend our days making our communities stronger through public service.
