  • AFSCME Makes Equality Happen AFSCME Makes Equality Happen

    Across the country, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) public workers aren't getting a fair shake. In 30 states, we could be fired. We experience harassment and discrimination on the job. We earn less than our straight co-workers, and we don't have equal access to benefits like healthcare. LGBT and allied members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO (AFSCME) are on the frontlines of the fight for equality in the workplace and in every place. We are nurses, firefighters, correctional officers, library workers, child care providers and sanitation workers. Through our union contracts and our activism in cities and states, we are making sure LGBT public workers get a fair shot. AFSCME makes America and equality happen.

Coming on the heels of Wednesday's election in California where EMS workers in 13 counties voted in United EMS Workers-AFSCME with a 77% margin, New England EMS stepped up today with 90% margin in their election results. The coast-to-coast victories total up to 2,300 new AFSCME members in two days. "This is a great victory," said Matt Anderson, a paramedic from Brockton, Mass., "It means we'll be getting more respect for what we do, and for EMS in general it means we're on our way to making this a profession and not just a job."
