Members of AFSCME Local 1596A (@AFSCME93) who work for the main public library in Springfield, Massachusetts, recently persuaded the city to put in a crosswalk outside the library. It was a way to honor their co-worker Gayle Ball, who was hit by a car. afscme.org/blog/after-a-belo…
The Social Security Fairness Act is closer than ever to becoming law! Tell your Senator to schedule a vote and end the unfair WEP & GPO provisions that hurt public workers' benefits. afsc.me/4fYbluZ

Thanks to the strength and determination of AFSCME working and retiree members, laws that cut public service workers’ Social Security may soon be history. afscme.org/blog/afscme-worki…

Good news for workers in Maine! A new law would allow those who work for the state government, the judicial branch and in higher education to form unions. afscme.org/blog/maine-member…
I stand with Salem Hospital Physicians in their fight to join a union!
Physicians are critical to keeping hospitals running and ensuring that our communities get the care they need — and their voices can improve working conditions and patient care.
Thank you @SenMarkey ! AFSCME represents hundreds of paraprofessionals across Northern New England who would benefit from this legislation to help school districts recruit, train, and retain these vital public service workers!
From teaching assistants to special education aides, paraprofessionals help students thrive. But when limited professional development and low pay burn out these educators, classrooms suffer. The PARA Educators Act will give these workers the pay and support they deserve.
ALT Purple background with crayons and yellow and pink paint splatters, and text that reads:
“PARA Educators Act; This bill will:
* Provide paraprofessionals with access to high-quality professional development programs that will advance in their careers and benefit their students
* Provide funding to support efforts to recruit and retain paraprofessionals, including through increased wages, and
* Prioritize high-need rural and urban areas to ensure grant funding is distributed equitably.”
When snow and ice get you down, AFSCME members lift you up. They work around the clock to clear the roads and keep the power on. We owe these unsung heroes a big thank you!
WE DID IT! Because of the intense pressure exerted by AFSCME members and other public sector union members, the supplemental budget bill has just passed the House of Representatives and Senate. It is now heading to Governor Healey’s desk!
This is YOUR VICTORY!
The House just moved the Supplemental Budget forward, including all 95 collectively bargained public employee contracts. Senate Republicans: No more games. Pass the supp today, working people can’t wait another minute. #mapoli
Congrats to Charlie Chouinard, Rob Pantaleo, Wayne Diskin and Stephen Reimer for winning AFSCME’s Never Quit Service Award. The four Massachusetts park rangers responded to a fire at the State House in July. afsc.me/46TCCdi
