What is PEOPLE?
PEOPLE is AFSCME's legislative/political action committee. PEOPLE is Public Employees Organized to Promote Legislative Equality.
PEOPLE is the official name of AFSCME's political action committee and is registered with the Federal Election Commission. Federal law and some state laws prohibit the use of union dues money to support political candidates. Campaign contributions by AFSCME to these candidates must come from a separate voluntary fund.
Why PEOPLE?
As workers who provide important services to the public we are faced with special problems. Politicians and others frequently use public employees as "scape goats" to justify layoffs, contracting out, closing facilities, etc. Through the politic process we can have a voice in setting important public policy. Through the political process public employees can elect politicians who are sensitive to maintaining vital public services and dealing with workers fairly.
