We are nurses, corrections officers, child care providers, EMTs and sanitation workers. For us, public service is not just a job, it’s a calling. At times we are right out front, and at other times we are behind the scenes. Wherever we are, we’re proud to take on the responsibility of helping to keep this country strong. AFSCME is a union made up of a diverse group of people who share a common commitment to public service. We see the big picture and gladly accept the responsibility of guarding and nurturing it — not because we expect to be recognized for our sacrifice, but because we know the job needs to be done. That’s why we’re in the public service — to keep our families safe and make our communities strong. While we work for justice in the workplace, we advocate for prosperity and opportunity for all of America’s working families. We not only stand for fairness at the bargaining table — we fight for fairness at the ballot box and in the halls of government.

Wal-Mart
Sam Walton said it best, "If we work together, we'll lower the cost of living for everyone...we'll give the world an opportunity to see what it's like to save and have a better life." Saving people money to help them live better was the goal that Sam Walton envisioned when he opened the doors to the first Wal-Mart. Today, more than 40 years later with 7,390 Wal-Mart stores and Sam's Club locations in 14 markets, employing more than 2 million associates, serving more than 200 million customers per year, we continue to deliver that promise to families around the globe. It's the focus that underlies everything we do at Wal-Mart. And for the millions of customers who shop in our stores and clubs around the world each week, it means a lot. All around the world, we save people money, so they can live better. That's good news - in any language.
