Who We Are
With more than 1.4 million members nationwide, AFSCME (the
American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees) is the
fastest-growing and most progressive union in the country.
Council 13 of AFSCME was established in 1971 to improve wages, benefits, and
working conditions for public and private non-profit employees – those who
protect and serve the citizens of the Commonwealth. Our members are employed
at the state, county, township, borough, and city level, and in health care
and social service facilities throughout Pennsylvania.
Executive Director David Fillman has added more than 4,500 new members to the ranks of Council 13, including employees from Northwestern Human Services, the state's largest provider of mental health and mental retardation services.
