The employer may try to convince you that if
you join the union, you will be giving up your rights. That just isn’t true. Actually, you’ll gain more rights as a union member. The rights of union membership are guaranteed by the AFSCME Constitution:

• The right to a democratic union.
• The right to due process of law in union disciplinary proceedings.

• The right to a clean, honest union.
• The right to an effective union.
• The right to a union free from discrimination because of gender, race, color or creed.
• The right to a responsible union - responsible not only to its members and employers, but to the community and to the nation as well.

With AFSCME, you will be a part of a union distinguished by:
• Honesty.
• A higher standard of ethics than is commonly found in the everyday business world.
• No conflicts of interest.
• No kickbacks or under-the-table payments.
• A good contract.
• Efficient and effective representation at the bargaining table.
• Fair and equitable treatment of all members.
• A union free from discrimination and supportive of the civil and human rights of every member and citizen.

You belong in AFSCME.
