"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.

National Law Enforcement Week gives us an opportunity to recognize the sacrifices and contributions of America’s public safety professionals. We honor and respect the thousands of AFSCME public safety professionals who never quit on our communities, and we commit to fighting for them so they can do their jobs safely and effectively. 

Today, AFSCME Council 93 Unit 2 members working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts voted to ratify a new one-year contract that recognizes the hard work and dedication Council 93 members bring to their jobs each and every day.

Council 93 worked hard to secure a contract agreement that reflected the work our members do to provide essential public services to the Commonwealth. The contract, which provides an 8% wage increase over the next fiscal year and a new pool of state funds to address classification and pay discrepancies in state service, passed by an overwhelming majority.
