AFSCME Workers: Heroes in Crisis, Delivering When It Matters Most

Public Service Workers: The Unsung Heroes in Critical Moments

"If it wasn’t critical, it could have waited a day. Obviously, it’s got to go now and they cannot wait."

These words underscore the urgency often faced by public service workers like Estes, a dedicated member of OCSEA/AFSCME Local 11. On a particularly challenging night, his skills, honed through rigorous training and experience, proved invaluable in a life-threatening situation.

While Estes credits the medical team for their pivotal role in saving a baby's life, he also highlights the crucial impact of his effort in ensuring the ambulance could navigate through a severe storm.

For many public service workers nationwide, such scenarios are not out of the ordinary. Instead, they reflect the constant readiness and reliability that these professionals bring to their communities.

Communities depend on these workers to step up when it matters most, a task that AFSCME members continually fulfill with dedication and efficiency.

Union jobs transcend the conventional focus on wages and perks. They emphasize comprehensive training, high standards, accountability, and executing responsibilities effectively during critical times.

In times of crisis, there is a clear preference for experienced and trained public service workers.

AFSCME members answer the call.
