American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees

AFSCME — the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees — is the nation’s largest union for public service workers, representing 1.4 million members in 3,400+ local unions across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia.

AFSCME members are the people who make America happen: EMTs and paramedics, corrections officers, child-care providers, sanitation workers, librarians, nurses, school employees, social workers, public defenders, and the people who keep our cities, counties, and states running. Founded in Madison, Wisconsin in 1932, AFSCME is one of the AFL-CIO’s flagship affiliates.
