AFSCME members make sure the water we drink is pure, the trash is taken away, the streets are clean and our communities are livable. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. acknowledged the important services we provide in 1968 when he supported Memphis sanitation workers who were on strike for respect and a contract between AFSCME and the city.
