What does AFSCME stand for?
AFSCME is the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. AFSCME primarily represents public employees at all levels of government, and with 1.6 members they continue to be one of the fastest growing unions across the country. AFSCME not only fights for fairness and justice in the workplace, but also at the ballot box and the halls of government. In 1989 NUHHCE joined forces with AFSCME in order to increase its political power and commitment to organize new members.
