Loading ...Some 1,043 workers from New York to New Mexico, including child care workers and bus drivers, recently gained a voice on the job by joining AFSCME.
In New York, 400 direct care workers at the Guild for Exceptional Children in Brooklyn voted in March for the Civil Service Employees Association/AFSCME Local 1000. The workers, who care for people with mental disabilities, originally joined through majority sign-up (sometimes known as card-check). But after management challenged the results, workers were required to hold an election, which the union won by a large margin.
