New Gallup poll shows yet another year-over-year increase in approval for labor unions, the highest level of support in 17 years.

The union, known for its political organizing prowess and putting boots on the ground in key races across the country, is taking its massive political operation digital in the face of the coronavirus.

Union representing 90,000 public safety officers affirms collective bargaining rights for police; approves landmark reforms to confront racism.

During the union’s 44th International Convention, delegates supported Lee Saunders and Elissa McBride for four more years by acclamation. Saunders has led AFSCME through some of the most challenging times in the history of the union and the country.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee praised AFSCME’s front-line heroes who are essential to fighting COVID-19 and keeping our families safe and healthy.

Saunders’ keynote address lauded the union’s strong momentum despite two years of immense challenges, including the Janus case, the coronavirus pandemic and deep-seated racial and economic inequalities.

Saunders: Senator Harris is a tireless fighter for working people.

Saunders: American families should take the money to put food on the table and make a plan to vote Donald Trump out of office.

Today’s report confirms what we have known for months: we need a bold, urgent solution to the catastrophic public health and economic crises that are exacting a brutal toll on our communities.

Donald Trump has ignored the pandemic and economic crisis from the beginning while Mitch McConnell has said we should ‘pause’ any further response.
