We are happy to announce that the first of our agreed salary rate increases, a 3% adjustment, will take effect with the first full pay period of January 2025. This increase has been fully funded by the state, and we do not anticipate any delays in processing the payments.

For AFSCME, this pay period runs from January 12 through January 25, 2025. Members will see the adjusted salary reflected in their January 31st paycheck.

For those interested in further details, the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) can be read in its entirety at the following link: https://afscme1067.org/forms/.

Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication. We look forward to a successful year ahead!

We are thrilled to share that the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) were officially repealed by Congress in December 2024! This landmark victory is a monumental step forward in ensuring fairness and equity for AFSCME members and their families, eliminating unfair reductions to Social Security benefits.

Even better news—President Biden is set to sign this historic legislation into law January 6th, solidifying a more secure financial future for our members and their families, especially those in or nearing retirement.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who called, wrote, and advocated tirelessly to your representatives—this success is a direct result of your dedication and persistence. Together, we’ve made a lasting impact!
