Organizing the Unorganized

Resolution No. 125 June 25-29, 1990 Miami, FL

WHEREAS:

The top priority of this International Union is organizing; and

WHEREAS:

Because it has been made a priority, AFSCME has continued to grow, even while the climate for unionism has grown hostile and most other unions lost ground; and

WHEREAS:

AFSCME’s recent successes have come in a wide variety of fields, ranging from state workers in Alaska, Nebraska and New Mexico, county and municipal workers in 30 states, private-sector health care workers in California, Pennsylvania, Oregon and elsewhere, to university workers at Harvard, proving that our organizing program is widely applicable.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

That AFSCME will organize unorganized workers in all the following arenas:
