Adapting and Thriving Remotely

On Wednesday, October 14th, AFSCME Council 3 will host a virtual townhall ahead of the release of the results of our 2020 AFSCME Telework Survey. Beginning in September, a workgroup of AFSCME Council 3 members organized a survey of all public employees which gathered over 1,000 responses. To learn more about the results of the survey, review this powerpoint with more information.

Together with these results, AFSCME is proud to present "Thriving and Surviving: Making Smart Decisions to keep Maryland Moving and Growing During COVID-19" an informational booklet on adapting public service to the age of the pandemic including an economic update on the outlook for fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022.
