ANTHONY,
There is no sector of the workforce more resilient than those who work in public service.
Every day you go above and beyond to respond to the needs of your community: stepping up during extreme weather events, responding to emergencies, educating the next generation, keeping our streets clean, caring for patients and the elderly, ensuring public safety, and so much more.
This Public Service Recognition Week, we salute your grit, dedication and commitment.
As billionaires and their anti-worker allies drive up the cost of living and slash public service funding, you have answered their attacks by standing together and getting organized.
Nationwide, you are using your union voice to demand more for your communities. In the courts, AFSCME members have successfully protected funding for museums, libraries and child care.
At the bargaining table, we continue to negotiate for fair wages, safe staffing, and respect, all of which ensure public services remain strong for everyone who relies on them.
Your resilience and perseverance teach all of us an important lesson: the best way to channel our love for this country is by standing together to make working people’s lives better.
