Overworked? Understaffed? Joining a union is the best way to ensure you get the extra staffing you need.

After finding synthetic marijuana during a cell search, three corrections officers at an Iowa prison were recently hospitalized.

AFSCME’s archives tell the story of our union’s history. The building housing these archives is 50 years old this year.

AFSCME members called out Rep. Young Kim for hanging working families in California’s 40th District out to dry.

HAPPENING NOW: We’re marching on Rep. Young Kim’s office in Anaheim, CA to ask a simple question: How dare you vote to cut services at local hospitals, nursing homes and schools to pay for more billionaire tax breaks?

@AFLCIO "We have a White House that’s run by billionaires, for billionaires. And we have a Congress full of backstabbing politicians who have abandoned the working class!"- AFSCME President Lee Saunders

🙌 Hundreds of AFSCME members are at the @AFLCIO #BetterInAUnion bus tour in Anaheim, California to demand answers from Rep. Young Kim for why she voted to raise costs on California’s working families & threaten the public services we all depend on.

AFSCME members spoke out last week about the harms the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill Act” will inflict on Arizona. And they thanked their local congressman – Rep. Greg Stanton — for voting against that cruel budget bill.

In Brownsville, Texas, an AFSCME retiree joined Rep. Vicente Gonzalez to call on Congress to protect Social Security from the billionaires and their yes-men.

We will fight the administration’s absurd rule to change the eligibility for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

As a certified nursing assistant, Demetris provides daily care to those who need it most. As an AFSCME volunteer organizer, he shows up for his coworkers, fighting for better pay, better benefits and a stronger community. That's the union difference.

Many federal workers have struggled to do their jobs and find the resources to serve their communities. But they are using their voices to fight back. Read their stories and add your voice.

Say it loud and say it proud: 50,000 workers have gained a voice on the job through the @cwuafscme movement. That’s more than any other union.

Attacks on federal workers are attacks on our safety, public health, and communities. As anti-worker extremists take a sledgehammer to our public services, AFSCME federal workers are sounding the alarm about cuts and sharing their stories. Hear from them:

Veterans Affairs workers make sure that our nation's veterans are cared for. Despite their service, VA Sec. Doug Collins is trying to bust their unions and attack their freedom. We won’t stay silent! Sign this petition: #UnionStrongForVets.

Social Security turns 90 today, but it is under attack like never before. As AFSCME President Lee Saunders put it, the attacks amount to “a coordinated assault on the freedom of workers to retire with dignity.”

RT @AFLCIO: The big ugly bill is a disgrace. It makes sure the rich stay rich, while cutting our health care and raising our costs. On the….

A Rep. Scott Perry sold out his constituents by supporting the “Big Beautiful Bill.” AFSCME members called him out on Tuesday as the AFL-CIO’s “It’s Better in a Union” bus tour stopped in Harrisburg.

On the 90th anniversary of Social Security, AFSCME President Saunders pledges, "We’re going to keep fighting to build an economy where people who have worked hard their entire lives can retire securely. That’s the promise of Social Security.".

90 years ago, Social Security was signed into law. Since then, it’s been there for our grandparents, our parents, and now us, helping us retire, supporting families, and lifting seniors out of poverty. Sign the pledge to protect Social Security.
