HOUSTON – Public service workers across south Texas worked tirelessly to keep basic operations going throughout Hurricane Harvey and in its aftermath.
AFSCME workers and retirees in and around Houston and throughout south Texas, from Beaumont to Corpus Christi, were a huge part of that effort. They continued serving their communities even though their homes and neighborhoods were devastated and their families were in need.
AFSCME represents at least 8,500 workers and retirees in south Texas, including municipal employees at HOPE (Houston Organization of Public Employees) AFSCME Local 123, Harris County Hospital employees at AFSCME Local 1550, AFSCME Texas Corrections employees, and members of Houston Retiree Chapter 1550 and Texas Retiree Chapter 12.
