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
