“Three more examples of front lines workers who understand that no matter their job, a union contract helps them get it done. Even though we were forced to turn out members for three different elections in the same part of the state we won overwhelming because they choice is clear – AFSCME Yes. We look forward to working with these members to achieve their goals at the bargaining table.”
