CONGRATULATIONS Patrick on being elected as AFSCME's next International President! ✊️ ✊️
For the last 14 years, Patrick has led our council with integrity and care, and he is an organizer through and through.
Under his leadership, we’ve seen our union grow by thousands of new members and the expansion of collective bargaining rights to over 15,000 workers throughout Maryland. During his tenure, Maryland workers won historic raises, new laws to protect against extreme heat and workplace violence, and a record-breaking wage theft settlement of $23 million.
Our AFSCME family in Maryland will miss Patrick, but we are excited to see the decades of union experience and organizing spirit that he will bring to our national union. We are confident that as AFSCME’s next leader, he will continue to grow worker power, protect and expand public services, and improve the lives of working people everywhere.
