"Congratulations to the members of AFSCME Local 1700 Duxbury School Custodians on their victory over a short-sited plan to privatize custodial services in Duxbury this morning.
It’s time once again to start looking ahead to the warm summer months and begin preparing for the 15th Annual Council 93 Memorial Golf Tournament. As you may know, the golf tournament is the premier fundraising event for the Council 93 Memorial Scholarship Fund, which helps AFSCME families meet the high cost of a college education. Over the past 20 years, the fund has provided more than $100,000 in scholarships to AFSCME members, their spouses, children, stepchildren, grandchildren and legal dependents.
The Human Resources Division in collaboration with AFSCME Council 93, is pleased to announce the launch of our 2021 Training and Career Ladder Program (TCL). The program aims to create a diverse and engaging collection of training opportunities for participating bargaining unit members. This year’s TCL program features a new model which will allow union members more access to a wider range of professional development courses.
Last night AFSCME Council 93's good friend and union brother, Marty Walsh was confirmed the Secretary of Labor by the United States Senate in a 68-29 vote!
Are you and/or your spouse counting on a public pension AND social security benefits to earn enough money in your retirement years?
If so, you should know that the social security benefits you are planning to receive will be drastically reduced - and in some cases completely eliminated - due to a federal law that wrongfully strips hard-working people of the full Social Security benefit they earned and paid for, simply because they are also entitled to a public pension benefit.
Georgia Veiga has been a proud member of AFSCME New Jersey Local 3440 for the last 17 years. She regularly seeks out opportunities to support companies that employ union workers.
