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:
