Momentum

When working people stand together, raise their voice and show their power, they win. As labor unions surge in popularity, AFSCME leads the pack, where members across the country are notching victories and building unstoppable momentum. Our collective actions have led to historic contracts, groundbreaking legislative wins, and better working conditions for AFSCME members. And with each victory, we raise the bar – not just for AFSCME members – but for all working families.
