We are proud to enclose your AFSCMEmembership card for 2008-2009. This card signifies that you are part of a family of 1.4 million workers across our nation who provide the vital services that make America strong. Our members are the first to arrive when disaster strikes and the very last to leave, whether the crisis is a bridge collapse in Minneapolis or raging fires in Southern California. We are also the ones behind the scenes, working in government offices, scho_ol~and universities, corrections facilities, hospitals and child care centers. We do the jobs that few people spend much time thinking about, but upon which all of us depend,

As an AFSCMEmember with a union contract, you enjoy decent wages and benefits as well as workplace protections that workers who are not part of a union don't have, What's more, you're part of an organization that strives to make a difference in the lives of all working people, whethe-r they are in a union or not. With your participation, we can become even more effective in standing up to those who wish to undercut public services and eliminate workers' rights. '\...--.

In fact, today we are in the midst of an anti-worker climate unlike any in recent memory, That's why membership and activism in our union are so important. We hope this card reminds you that the vitality of AFSCMEcomes from members who are dedicating their time and talents to build power in the workplace, at the ballot box and at the bargaining table, Thank you again for being part of the AFSCMEfamily - a family that stands strong because we stand together,
