News News impacting public employee union members OCSEA leaders represent membership at AFSCME convention designed to mobilize public employee union members nationwide
July 29, 2008 - OCSEA leaders are among the 6,000 delegates and guests seated this week at AFSCME's 38th International Convention held in San Francisco, California. The theme is: "We Make America Happen." AFSCME President Gerald W. McEntee outlined two key goals for delegates: to elect pro-worker candidates across the country, and build public support for the vital public services that make our communities a better place to live, work and raise a family. “We have to tell our story,” McEntee said. “It’s a story about the tremendous value of the services we provide across this great country. We keep families safe and make communities strong. You know it and I know it: America works because we do.” The union launched an extensive message training program to help delegates change the way the public views government and public services. It will be rolled out to AFSCME’s 3,500 local unions in the weeks and months ahead. Delegates will elect AFSCME's top officers as well as consider key resolutions and constitutional amendments that impact the union's governance and policy decisions. See Related
