AFSCME Public Safety Members Demonstrate Strength and Unity in 2025

Public safety workers associated with AFSCME have displayed remarkable dedication and courage over the past year, consistently prioritizing community safety. Their efforts on the frontline have been complemented by significant political engagement, where they have successfully advocated for legislative changes aimed at empowering workers and enhancing financial security post-retirement.

In legislative arenas across city halls and state capitals, these professionals have played a crucial role in lobbying for policies that promote job empowerment and economic stability for public safety workers. Such measures not only enable them to serve their communities more effectively but also contribute to the sustainability of public safety careers.

At the negotiation table, AFSCME members have demonstrated their commitment to their profession, asserting their value and negotiating for better terms in light of the challenging and hazardous nature of their work. Their unified and determined approach has led to the successful ratification of robust new contracts for many local AFSCME public safety groups.

Amidst threats from anti-union forces and wealthy opponents, AFSCME's public safety professionals have actively participated in the organization’s Get Organized campaign, standing firm in the defense of union rights.

Reflecting on their achievements last year, AFSCME public safety professionals are poised to continue their advocacy and efforts into 2026. For more information or to get involved, visit the AFSCME Public Safety website.
