Please join Council 4 and its New London-area affiliated unions in supporting members of AFT Connecticut-affiliated local unions at Yale-New Haven Health Systems (YNHHS), Lawrence + Memorial (L+M) Hospital and the Visiting Nurses Association of Southeastern Connecticut (VNASC).

These essential workers are rallying for safety, protection and respect in the workplace and raising awareness of health professionals’ concerns that without proper protective gear, communities are at risk.

Essential workers are on the frontlines of the coronavirus crisis, and their unions are organizing critical campaigns to demand protection and enhanced pay for all these “everyday heroes” who care for the sick, keep the buses running, or stock the grocery shelves.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020.

You will be able to vote for President, Members of Congress and Connecticut General Assembly (State Representative and State Senator).

Stay tuned for further news, including Council 4 union endorsements and coronavirus updates impacting how voting will take place.

For the first time in our union’s history, AFSCME International will hold its biennial convention entirely online.

The International Executive Board voted in March to move the 44th International Convention from an in-person event to a virtual event on Aug. 13 and 14 and Sept. 2.

The event’s theme will be “Front-Line Heroes: Never Stronger.” Details of what the virtual convention will look like and the agenda are being finalized.
