Welcome to Wisconsin AFSCME
Founded in Wisconsin in 1932, the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) currently represents more than 1.4 million members nationally. In Wisconsin, Council 24, one of several councils supporting our state, has more than 24,000 members. AFSCME members are employed at every level of government (state and local) and in every facet of the delivery of public and non-profit services. The list is as diverse as the nature of public and non-profit services. In Wisconsin, AFSCME members are organized into more than 500 local unions and chapters. Those local unions are then organized into councils. Each council provides the framework and resources for bargaining, contract administration, legislative representation, political action, and other collective activity.
Stamp Out Hunger
The NALC food drive works in partnership with the AFL-CIO Community Services network; America's Second Harvest, the nations food bank network and United Way of America. All citizens need to do is to place a box or can of non-perishable food next to their mailbox before their letter carrier delivers mail on Saturday, May 10th. The carrier will do the rest. The food is taken back to the postal station, sorted and delivered by union volunteers to an area food bank or pantry for needy families to access.

Union members, state and local labor councils and Community Services staff can volunteer at their local NALC branch to assist with collecting, sorting and delivery of food.

An estimated 30 million people face hunger every day in America, including more than 12 million children. This drive is one way people can help those right in their own city or town. |
