Guest Speakers Your union web source on convention business 
Gerald McEntee, Gerald W. McEntee is the International President of AFSCME. As a Vice President of the AFL-CIO, Executive Council member, chair of the federation’s Political Education Committee and a member of its Organizing and Public Relations Committees, Jerry plays a key role in the leadership of the labor movement.
Under Jerry’s leadership, the federation created its highly successful and much imitated voter education campaigns, which helped thrust issues important to working families to the top of America’s political agenda and increase the number of union household voters to a record level. McEntee has long been a leader in the fight to reform the nation's health care system. President Clinton named McEntee to serve on the Presidential Advisory Commission on Quality and Consumer Protection in the Health Care Industry in 1997. Jerry has led efforts to expand the rights of workers to organize, and to strengthen and improve such workplace standards such as the minimum wage, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act. Within AFSCME, Jerry recently led a strategic planning effort, the 21st Century Initiative, to strengthen the union and hold politicians accountable for assaults on workers’ economic security and basic workplace rights.
