AFSCME members who work in public safety showed their strength in countless ways over the past year. On the job, they demonstrated heroism and bravery while keeping our communities safe.
In city halls and state capitals, AFSCME public safety professionals lobbied for laws that will give workers more power on the job and more financial security when they retire. These new laws will allow them to better serve their communities and make public safety a more sustainable profession.
At the bargaining table, they showed their union pride, standing up to bosses, proving they deserve more for the difficult and dangerous work they do. Tenacious and united, many AFSCME public safety locals won strong new contracts.
And as public service workers everywhere faced threats from anti-union extremists and billionaires, AFSCME public safety professionals joined the fight through AFSCME’s Get Organized campaign.
Take a look at how AFSCME’s public safety professionals flexed their muscle last year and are gearing up to do the same in 2026.
