Each AFSCME Local is a self-governing unit. Each has its own constitution, elects its own officers, and determines its own policies. Members of each Local select their own negotiating committee, and vote to accept or reject proposed contracts.
LOCAL UNION OFFICERS AND STEWARDS
Local leaders, elected by their co-workers, provide the day-to-day representation on the job and the direction for the local union that AFSCME members rely on.
COUNCIL
All of Council 63′s Officers and Executive Board members are public or private sector employees who hold full-time jobs in addition to their duties at the Council. Delegates representing every local in the Council elect the Officers every four years at Council 63′s convention. The convention also sets the Council’s policies and priorities for the coming year.
NATIONAL
Delegates to AFSCME’s International Union convention elect AFSCME’s International president, secretary-treasurer and regional vice-presidents every four years. International convention delegates, representing local unions, also determine the policies and programs for the International union.
