  • Do you want to build a better and more secure economic future for you and your family?
  • Are you hurting from a lack of quality, affordable healthcare coverage?
  • Have you ever been unfairly disciplined by your supervisor or forced to accept a demotion, suspension or other punishment you didn’t deserve?

If you answered yes to any of these questions it’s time to join AFSCME. With more than 1.6 million active and retired members nationwide, AFSCME is the strongest and most respected public services union in the country.

We consistently fight for and secure the best wages, benefits and working conditions for our members. Since so much of public service workers’ rights, benefits and funding are impacted by the actions of elected officials, we maintain a strong presence in the corridors of government, fighting to protect our members and holding politicians accountable for their actions.  

Get in touch with AFSCME Local 1363 to learn more. All conversations are strictly confidential and you will not be pressured to move forward until you are ready. We are already standing and fighting with you coworkers and look forward to doing the same with you! 

We Need Your Help to Protect Democracy in Florida

Anti-worker legislation meant to make it nearly impossible for public service workers like us to organize strong unions, by stacking the deck against workers in union elections, is advancing in the State Senate. This Wednesday, Senate Bill 1296 will be debated in the Senate Committee on Governmental Oversight and Accountability, and they need to hear from you.

Click here and in 30 seconds you can let a state senator know why they must vote no on Senate Bill 1296.

The Senators on this committee need to hear your voice today. SB 1296 is an extreme attack on the rights of public service workers and will force all of us to vote in every union election, or else be counted as a NO vote. It will silence the voice of workers who want to vote but are unable to because of sickness or other issues, and it would take away the right of workers who prefer to abstain.

Stand up for our rights by calling now.

Making a call today is the most powerful way you can act to protect our union, and our freedom to have a strong voice on the job.

When public service workers lose our voice at work, we cannot advocate for the critical services we provide, the public we serve and the contracts we rely on.

It takes just 30 seconds to call the Senate Committee on Governmental Oversight and Accountability now!

We need to ramp up the pressure!

We are fighting to #SavePublicServices. Thousands of AFSCME members have taken action by calling or writing their senators to tell them not to make drastic cuts to public services to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

But as Congress continues to debate these cuts, we need to keep up the pressure! Because this is about so much more than protecting the services our communities depend on.

It’s about fighting for the 15 million people — working families, children, seniors and vulnerable Americans — who will lose their health care if Congress slashes the budget. It’s about protecting Medicare, food assistance, and the programs many of us depend on to survive.  

Join us by emailing your senators and making your voice heard. It's easy and takes just a few minutes using the tool here. After you enter your information, the form will identify your senators, provide a draft email (which you are free to use, edit or replace), and send it.

It only takes a few minutes. Together, our voices can't be ignored.
