AFSCME Family,

Across the country, AFSCME members are standing together to negotiate impressive contracts that result in stronger pay and better benefits.

Your union contract is a powerful tool. It is how we advocate for fair wages, make sure we get deserved raises, ensure we have protections in place to keep us safe on the job and much, much more.

Crafting a strong union contract takes time, effort and solidarity. It requires mobilizing our fellow union members to let management know we have a seat at the table and we are going to use it to negotiate for what we deserve.

From wages to benefits, scheduling to seniority, putting the work in to forge a strong contract pays powerful dividends now and in the future.

The right to collectively bargain is not something we take for granted. We fought hard for the right and nothing is more satisfying than using it.

Take a moment to read about some of the amazing contract wins these fellow AFSCME members have won, and be sure to take a page out of their playbook when it comes time to negotiate your next contract and start building worker power today.

In solidarity,

Dalia Thornton
