90 Years Union Strong

From AFSCME President Lee Saunders

2026 marks the 90th anniversary of our union — nine decades of working people coming together to build their collective power, to gain a voice on the job, and to strengthen their communities.

From the 1930s, when a group of state workers in Wisconsin banded together to protect their jobs and block political cronies from corrupting public services, to the 1.4 million members fighting today — we haven’t just survived 90 years of history, we’ve SHAPED it.
