Threat to the jobs of AFSCME members

Two weeks ago we asked for your assistance in generating phone calls and e-mails to your legislators in an effort to minimize increases to state and higher education worker health insurance contribution rates. Thanks to all AFSCME members who took the time to make these important contacts and for encouraging your fellow members to do the same.
 

 
We now need your help on another very important matter related to the FY10 budget, which represents a very serious threat to the jobs of AFSCME members.
