As union members in public service, we know what a difference it makes when we elect leaders who have our backs. We deserve leaders who respect our work, and that’s why we fight.
Anti-worker attacks are happening in states and cities all over the country. These attacks are not just about budgets and economy; they are about political choices being made by our elected officials.
Politicians claim states coffers are empty or that public services are invaluable––only to give out hundreds of millions of dollars in new tax breaks to big corporations. Meanwhile, they justify those tax breaks by cutting public union members’ wages, benefits, and retirement security—AND vital services to the Ohioans we serve.
Help us fight back with AFSCME PEOPLE—our union’s political action arm. Your biweekly voluntary pay-roll deduction to the political action committee (PAC) is critical to ensuring we have the necessary resources to fight these attacks on our job security, union rights and the middle class safety nets.
As public employees, our wages, benefits and working conditions are in the hands of politicians. Through AFSCME PEOPLE, union members can help elect candidates who stand for:
- Strong contracts
- No outsourcing
- Affordable health care
- Retirement security
- No cuts to vital public services
