Cynthia Harris-Jackson, President of AFSCME Local 1303-467, knows what it means to transition, especially in terms of career and job scope.
This past decade, she went from working as a corrections officer at Cheshire Correctional Institute to a school nurse. As the COVID-19 pandemic hit, these last few months she shifted from a nurse for her school, Conte West Hills Magnet, to a nurse for the entire city of New Haven. Regardless of the career shifts, she has been an AFSCME Council 4 member throughout.
