More than 1,400 people took to the streets to demand livable wages, and quality care at the Oregon Health and Science University. AFSCME President Lee Saunders joined the picket with Oregon AFSCME and told workers, “Hurting you means hurting the people you serve. When you are undermined, patient care is undermined, and public health is undermined.” Early this morning, after an epic 21-hour mediation session, AFSCME members reached a tentative agreement that protects the community and the workers

On the picket lines in Southern California, AFSCME President Lee Saunders had a message for striking UNAC/UHCP members: “You are righteous in your struggle. You are righteous in this fight.” This fight is about more than wages; it’s about quality care for patients and respect for workers. A fair contract is what health care workers and patients deserve. | AFSCME

The Supreme Court just announced it will hear a case called Janus v. AFSCME Council 31. If we lose, the entire public sector will be “right-to-work” in all 50 states. We need everyone to raise their voice, to be AFSCME Strong, to fight for our union and for the freedom of all working people. | Lee Saunders

Thanks to the incredible work of AFSCME members like you, the American Rescue Plan includes $360 billion in flexible funds for states, cities, towns and schools. It will help rebuild our communities and prevent furloughs and layoffs that could have cost us our careers in public service. This is a huge victory. Please watch my new video about what the American Rescue Plan means for all of us. | Lee Saunders

AFSCME is not going let anti-union extremists cut public services to give billionaires tax breaks. Cuts to Medicaid and food assistance will hurt the people we care for and our jobs. Join the fight by organizing in your workplace and talking to your co-workers about why we need to fight this attack on our work. Then, call your member of Congress at 202-559-1165 and tell them, “No cuts to Medicaid and public services to fund billionaire tax breaks.” | Lee Saunders

I joined AFSCME members in Maryland this week to discuss the importance of organizing to protect our communities from harmful cuts in the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill." There is nothing "beautiful" about ripping health care from millions of people or taking a sledgehammer to the public services that AFSCME members provide every single day. We must build a union powerful enough to fight back against these anti-worker attacks. We do that by getting organized. | Lee Saunders

AFSCME members and President Lee Saunders visited the UAW International Union picket line at the Stellantis Jeep and Chrysler assembly plant in Toledo, Ohio. UAW isn’t just fighting for fair wages and benefits – they’re fighting for all of us; for working class people who are being left behind while corporate executives make out like bandits.

AFSCME members are the beating heart of our communities – we’re the ones who maintain our roads, care for the sick and elderly, keep our schools strong and much more. Last week, I was on Axios' 1 Big Thing podcast to talk about the importance of public service and the power that all working people have in this moment.

AFSCME members believe public service isn’t just a job — it’s a calling. But chronic understaffing is making it difficult for them to do the work that strengthens their communities. I’m proud to announce that AFSCME is launching Staff the Front Lines, an initiative to recruit and retain talented public service workers. Learn more here: https://afsc.me/4002795 | Lee Saunders

President Saunders joined AFSCME members in Arizona to get out the vote. As he makes clear, union members are going to make sure we stop Trump's Project 2025 and protect our freedoms. But we can only do that if we all talk to our friends and family about voting. Join AFSCME’s volunteer team today at the link in bio. | AFSCME

Being in a union means having a voice on the job and the power to negotiate for better working conditions. For Al, this means not only better pay, but also more time spent with his children, allowing him to be there for moments that matter most. | AFSCME

They just can’t stand the idea that workers have a seat at the table. Late last night, President Trump issued an illegal executive order ending collective bargaining rights for federal workers – including AFSCME members – who care for our veterans, research cures, keep our food supply safe, and so much more. Despite having more money and power than ever before, the billionaires running this administration just can’t stand the idea that working people have a seat at the table. AFSCME members will

At a time when public service workers like caregivers, first responders, and librarians are under attack, the right to collectively bargain means more than ever. But in about half the nation, they don’t have the same basic freedoms as their private sector peers. They don’t have the right to collective bargain over wages, benefits, working conditions, and more. The Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act would fix that. It would level the playing field and empower all public service workers, no m

Thank you Reverend Al Sharpton for having me on the Keepin’ it Real Radio Show today to highlight the work AFSCME members are doing during the ongoing government shutdown. Whether it’s working families unable to access their SNAP benefits to the effects on state and local budgets, everyone is being harmed by the anti-union extremists in Congress who refuse to fund public services. | Lee Saunders
