We make Washington happen.Unions build a strong middle class. By joining together, working people gain strength in numbers and create a voice at work and in our communities about matters we care about.Working together, we can negotiate a contract with our employer that may include better pay; protects our health insurance and retirement benefits; and creates a fair and safe workplace with worker-friendly policies like schedule flexibility, commute trip reduction and leave to care for family members.No matter what type of job workers are in, strong unions allow workers to speak out for fairness for all working people in their communities and create better standards and a strong middle class across the country.AFSCME, the AFL-CIO and all unions envision a future in which work and all people who work are valued, respected and rewarded. We achieve that first through traditional representation and bargaining for strong contracts but then we go beyond that by participating in lobbying and working in coalition with other organizations to achieve the same goal:Building a Middle Class who receive a fair helping of decency. We accomplish this by building a broad coalition to advance a worker-friendly political and economic agenda.
