AFSCME-Michigan
Share
Michigan's communities never rest. Streets need cleaning. Families need care. Students deserve well-run schools, and our neighborhoods demand safety. Fairness.
That’s why people who work in public service never stop. This isn’t just a job. It’s a calling. Nobody does this work to get rich. It’s hard work, and it’s largely unsung. The work matters because it means something to make a community better. In fact, it means everything. AFSCME believes that every person working to sustain their community better deserves respect. We show ours through action—fighting to secure opportunity for AFSCME members wherever, and whoever, they are. We negotiate better pay and benefits because fighting for every member’s future is a form of respect. We educate about the issues that keep working families up at night because informed advocates command respect. And we organize because respect is offered to individuals who build power together. When people in public service connect, big things happen. Equality. Democracy. AFSCME is the union that honors solidarity without conformity—drawing each member’s story into a force of experience and commitment that can’t be ignored. That’s how we win better lives for ourselves, our families, our communities, and our country. For people proudly committed to the public service that makes Michigan happen, we never quit.

When Connor Sergent first joined the Shiawassee County Road Commission (SCRC), he was hesitant to join the union. It wasn’t until he realized the mechanics department needed a louder voice that he finally got involved. Today, Sergent has taken his commitment a step further. He was recently elected Chapter Chair of his Local. He now encourages everyone to take an active part in their union. Sergent is a natural leader and a prime example of the heart of AFSCME: a dedicated public servant working to better his community.
