The fellowship will launch October 8, 2022, 12:00 noon, EST and will be capped at 30 participants. Participants should expect 2-3 hours of work per week, either in session or doing homework and other projects. The fellowship will cover a variety of topics for potential candidates, including:
With a new agreement for the next three years ratified to begin in October, AFSCME members in the City of South Miami, Local 3294, are posed to weather economic uncertainty and make progress.

Cris Serrano, Organizing Director for AFSCME Florida, joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and discussed organizing strategies, both internal and external, to grow union membership in Florida, a So-Called “Right to Work” state.
