AFSCME Maryland members were on the move last week, fighting for health care on Capitol Hill. They joined thousands of working men and women to tell Congress that we need health care reform now!

INNOCENT!

AFSCME MD CORRECTIONS UNITED, fighting and winning for Corrections!

AFSCME Maryland must lead the fight for health care reform. Once we achieve a system that controls costs and covers everyone, then we can turn our full efforts on winning better wages for our members.

AFSCME leaders join President McEntee and Special Assistant Lee Saunders as Governor O’Malley, President Miller and Speaker Busch sign the Fair Share Act into law. The bill will mean that state employees can join other organized workplaces in having all employees share in the benefits and the costs associated with collective bargaining.

The 2009 legislative session in Annapolis ended last week and the work of AFSCME Maryland members paid off.  Together, we were able to win on some important issues.

The Fair Share Bill SB 264 was passed by Maryland lawmakers during the final night of the 2009 legislative session. This is an extremely important piece of legislation that, when signed into law and approved by state workers, will give us the strong united voice we need during these extremely tough times. To achieve this victory, AFSCME MD members worked long hard hours in Annapolis, lobbying lawmakers, writing letters, and making phone calls. That hard work has paid off. We did it!

Legislative Staff Recommended a 1% State Employee Pay Cut… We said No Way!
