How Thousands of Workers Are ‘Finding Their Voice’ By Becoming Union Members

How Thousands of Workers Are ‘Finding Their Voice’ By Becoming Union Members

At a time of growing economic uncertainty for America’s Middle Class, thousands of Public Service Workers across the nation are joining together to speak with a common voice

Fed up with politicians who put special interests above the needs of their communities, Workers from all walks of life, from Nurses to School Bus Drivers, are choosing solidarity without conformity.  

For example, in one instance, they are choosing the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME). 


After all, these are tough times for American Workers and their Unions. 

In 2016, overall Union Membership declined, according to the U.S. Labor Department, but AFSCME’s Membership grew by 12,000.  

That is, AFSCME welcomed 12,000 new Members – women and men from States like California, Ohio and Indiana. 

AFSCME’s ability to buck the trend shows that this Labor Organization is not only the largest Public Sector Union in the country, but also one of the boldest and toughest

And Workers need to remember that being part of a Union comes with many benefits. 

Did you know that Unionized Workers earn 25% higher median weekly wages and are more likely to receive health insurance and retirement benefits? 

Having a direct voice in the workplace easily translates into greater job satisfaction, as well as a contract that’s fair for everyone
