AFSCME President Moran: "Countless essential workers rely on [PSLF], and weaponizing it for political purposes would hurt not just these workers but the communities they serve. We’re glad the administration is now following the law and abandoning this illegal scheme.”

It's no secret that the cost of living is rising. Across the country, working families are struggling to make ends meet. That’s why the city workers of Corvallis, Oregon, who power their community, are fighting for better benefits and the fair contract they’ve earned.

Before joining AFSCME, @SPUPR ACU Local 3500 members had to fight for themselves. Now they have better wages, stronger benefits, safer workplaces, and a voice on the job. That's what happens when workers come together and turn their solidarity into power.
