This National First Responders Day, AFSCME Council 4 proudly salutes the heroes who answer the call when our communities need them most.

Behind every uniform is a person who puts others first—missing holidays, facing danger, and carrying the weight of emergencies long after a shift ends. We honor that dedication, the families who stand beside them, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

To our first responders: THANK YOU for your bravery, compassion, and unwavering commitment to protecting our communities. Your service deserves our gratitude—and our support—every day.

We will reach out to union members and their families, encourage them to make a plan to vote, and remind them what's at stake for working people.

Labor walks are about more than just knocking on doors. They're an opportunity to stand with fellow union members, connect with union voters, and have one-on-one conversations about what's at stake for working people in this election.

✊ FAIR CONTRACT NOW! SOLIDARITY WITH USW LOCAL 12160! ✊

Workers at the Water Authority in New Haven have been working without a union contract for nearly 6 months, and they've had enough!

Instead of bargaining in good faith, management is pushing proposals that would weaken overtime protections while imposing mandatory overtime, shift more healthcare costs onto workers, continue outsourcing their work, and refuse to negotiate over the impact of artificial intelligence in the workplace.

These workers deserve better!

📢 Join USW Local 12160 for an informational walk to demand that Water Authority management come to the table and bargain a fair contract that respects the workers who keep our communities running.
