Public service workers have been bearing the brunt of the short-staffing crisis for too long. Despite these challenges, we still show up every day to care for patients, take kids to school, keep our communities clean and safe and so much more.

AFSCME is working hard to shine a light on the critical work we do, and we are partnering with allies to attract qualified people to public service. We need to make sure our voices are heard.

Do you have a story about how chronic understaffing has affected your work or personal life? Share it with us today so we can make the case to Staff the Front Lines.
