Some of you have talked at our Local 3331 meetings about how AFSCME needs to reach out to members and share the history of this great Union. What better time than the 75th Anniversary of AFSCME International!
75th Anniversary Exhibit
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees has fought for its members and played a leadership role in the labor movement for 75 years. In doing so, AFSCME has grown to become one of the largest labor unions in the United States. This exhibit tells the story of the men and women of AFSCME.

I will also be bringing some brochures and AFSCME Advantage (savings info on all of the great discounts you get by being a member of AFSCME) to the
Local 3331 meeting on May 22, 2012.
Hope to see you there!

Member Tip: Get Involved
The resources of any union are limited, and there is always much more that unions could do to be even more effective in defending the members’ interest. A union’s power is unleashed when individual members take it upon themselves to pitch in and each does a little something to contribute to the larger effort. No matter what kind of person you are, you have something you can contribute to make your union stronger. If you have good writing skills, you might volunteer to work on the local newsletter. If you have some expertise in health care benefits or health and safety matters, you might volunteer to serve on a committee or help out during contract negotiations. At the very least, we’ve all got at least a little time to spare once or twice a month, so why not volunteer to help hand-deliver union literature to your fellow employees?
