No matter what type of job workers are in, strong unions allow workers to speak out for fairness for all working people in their communities and create better standards and a strong middle class across the country. Washington Federation of State Employees, AFSCME Council 28, the AFL-CIO and all unions envision a future in which work and all people who work are valued, respected and rewarded.
