Politics Affects Everyone
PEOPLE (Public Employees Organized to Promote Legislative
Equality) s about the difference between having things
happen to you and making things happen.
By participating in PEOPLE (AFSCME's political, legislative
and fundraising arm), you can have a direct impact on the
political process - from helping shape policies on privatization
and other issues that affect us to helping elect the public
officials who are your bosses.
As a public employee, your job, wages and working conditions
are directly linked to politics. We need the active participation
of all members in order to make our legislative/political
program strong, and in turn, to be effective when we work
on behalf of our members. From possible changes in Social
Security retirement benefits, to city budget issues, to
anti-union initiatives, politics affects everyone. No other
group of employees has such a direct connection to politics
as AFSCME members. That is why PEOPLE matters.
All AFSCME members and their families can be part of
PEOPLE!
"Your ability to gain at the bargaining table
is directly related to your past gains politically. AFSCME
PEOPLE is our vehicle to get the job done."
- Gerald W. McEntee, International President
"Being active in PEOPLE is the single best way
to build the Union and to make a political statement.
We want a better life, a better quality of public services
and to be able to live with dignity on and off the job."
- William Lucy, International Secretary-Treasurer
