Read about the issues that four OCSEA members are weighing as they prepare to head to the ballot box this election season. For them it means focusing on dignity of work, empowering public employees and lifting up the middle class from the bottom up and the middle out.

VOTING OUR JOBS is how we make real progress in this nation for working people! This means prioritizing the issues that impact us as union members––in the workplace, at the bargaining table, at home, and in the communities that we serve as public employees.

U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown continues to champion the fight to repeal WEP/GPO. Why? Because Sen. Brown, the incumbent candidate for Ohio's U.S. Senator, cares about public employees and their ability to retire with dignity!

For public employee union members, elections are more than just about who makes decisions for our community. We elect our bosses. The people who sit across the table from us to bargain. The people who could try to take our freedom to negotiate. The ones who make decisions about our top issues!

At the top of the ticket, AFSCME is all in for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. "Vice President Harris has been a strong, steady ally for AFSCME and all working people. She has walked the picket line with striking workers.
