AFSCME Local 3993 organizes to help represent our members at the bargaining table, to gain power in the workplace, and to help the union family grow. We believe that all working people should be treated with dignity and respect on the job.

U.S. Department of Labor statistics make it clear: across the board, union workers make more money than workers without union representation. In states with higher union density, the wage gap is smaller, as is the gap between the rich and the poor. For women and people of color, the difference is even more striking.

Unions will always be one of the last, best checks on corporate power, and one of the strongest ways to open a pathway toward a family-sustaining career and a better life overall. We all deserve a voice: In our communities. At home. In our families. At school. At work.

Want a voice on the job? Then join your co-workers who are taking a stand and protecting their jobs. 

AFSCME Local 3993 means a seat at the table with my boss, it means job security, it means a better future for my kids.

We advocate for the things public workers care about:

• Negotiate excellent health and pension benefits on your behalf; 
• Protect your jobs and give you access to representation for employer disputes; 
• We enhance and defend your rights and strengthen our communities by providing members a better life. 

What is a union?

Unions are organized workers who stand together to bargain with their employer for better pay, better benefits, vacations, pensions and safer working conditions. We vote and promote laws that protect working people and their families. Individually, workers don’t have much power in the workplace, together we gain strength to collectively influence our employer.

We provide comprehensive support in enforcing contracts, increasing bargaining power, and negotiations.

• Experienced negotiators that are committed to your outcome; 
• We complete benefit and salary research to properly adjust the wage band; 
• We come with legal and professional representation;
• We provide resources, training, and communication to our members.
