This Veterans Day, we salute all who’ve served and the veterans in the AFSCME family who continue to make our communities stronger every day.

🔥Hot Job Announcement (in a cold place❄️)! We work for more than 8,000 Alaskans across the state. Want to help support them in supporting all of us? Take a look at this incredible opportunity!

(updated due to minor typo) This isn't just a throwback - this is our renewed look! ASEA members put our logos to a vote and chose this beauty. Out with the new and in with the old ;-D

Tonight, we are one step closer to reinstating a defined benefit pension for Alaska’s public employees! Thank you to Rep. Kopp for carrying HB 78, thank you to all of the Representatives who voted for its passage, and thank you to everyone who testified in favor of it.

🏛️ Members, join us from 5:15-6:15 tonight to hear from Sen. Kiehl (Juneau) and Rep. Carrick (Fairbanks) about what’s going on in the Legislature! Register here: https://t.co/U7qAxVmyaM #akleg

Powerful LTE by Jeff Kasper: "The public services we often take for granted are made possible by the dedication of public servants. It is time we recognize their value not only as our friends, neighbors and community members, but as public employees." https://t.co/Gqu1bkt0Ov

#SouthcentralAlaska: We cannot overemphasize how odd the weather has been for the past 60-72 hours. What made matters worse was the early morning shift back to snow--the warmer asphalt conditions ensured that it became ice almost instantly. Our crews worked throughout the weekend

The Social Security Fairness Act is closer than ever to becoming law! Tell your Senator to schedule a vote and end the unfair WEP & GPO provisions that hurt public workers' benefits. https://t.co/eAs8fX88jD

🔁 @AFSCME Today and every day, we honor the brave women and men who have served our country. Your courage and commitment inspire us all. #VeteransDay

Voting is quick and easy, but if you need help, there are voter protection volunteers standing by to answer your questions. 👇

Today it is up to us to vote for a future where every worker has the freedom to join a union, where no child has to grow up in poverty & every senior can retire with dignity. Voting is quick & easy. Find your polling location at https://t.co/j1CIq2Bq9B!

Reminder to be diligent and check your child’s candy on Halloween. Last year, I found a union card in my daughter’s Snickers and she’s renegotiated her allowance and wants hazard pay for taking out the trash.

So you agree? Collective action and worker power actually effects change?

"No doubt some will enjoy the irony of Alaska wage and hour investigators, responsible for private-sector wage enforcement, finding errors in their paystubs without timely recourse... "

So true, Cady

Did you know today is National Voter Registration Day? As AFSCME members, we know the power of standing together. We organize, we bargain and we always vote. Find all the information you need at https://t.co/j1CIq2Bq9B!

23 years ago, our country experienced unbelievable tragedy. We will #NeverForget those who lost their lives or put their lives on the line to save others — especially the AFSCME members who showed up, like they always do, to comfort, heal & begin the long road to recovery.

Calling on our Midnight Sun and North Star Borough Chapter members to join us for the parade and picnic this afternoon! #LaborDay2024 #CelebrateWorkers

Union momentum is on the rise, and we’re proud to be part of it here at AFSCME 1624 in Austin. Workers are standing up, demanding respect and fairness, and ensuring our voices are heard. Together, we’re driving the change we want to see. #LaborDay #UnionStrong #afscme #austin
