Live from the 46th Convention: New AFSCME members find a powerful collective voice in the workplace

AFSCME is the biggest and baddest public service union in the nation and, every year, we get a little bigger and badder.  

Since our last convention in Philadelphia, we have welcomed many new members across the country, and in diverse and growing job sectors. At the 46th AFSCME International Convention in Los Angeles, delegates heard from a few of them.  

Those members included Maggie Pecchioli, a midwife for Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, California, who organized with her co-workers because Kaiser ignored their requests for raises and better retirement benefits.
