About Us

In every community in this state, AFSCME members deliver the essential services that make New York happen. From New York City to Buffalo, Mineola to Massena, from Poughkeepsie to Jamestown; in Syracuse, Rochester, Binghamton, Albany and all points in-between, AFSCME members provide the vital services that keep New York running and safe.

We are nurses, corrections officers, child care providers, EMTs and sanitation workers. For us, public service is not just a job, it’s a calling. During every crisis, like during Hurricanes Irene and Sandy, we are the first to arrive and the last to leave. We’re proud to help keep our state and country strong. AFSCME supports A Better New York For All.
