Tell Congress to Lower Health Care Costs Take action & tell Congress: lower health care costs by undoing the health care cuts they made in the so-called β€œBig Beautiful Bill.”

IT’S HERE! 🚨
Today AFSCME members in NJ and nationwide are taking action for affordable health care.

We’re standing up against cuts that threaten our hospitals, our jobs & our communities.

Health care is a right, not a privilege. ✊

Health care costs will skyrocket if Congress lets ACA premium tax credits expire. Millions could lose coverage while billionaires get more tax breaks. Join AFSCME’s Day of Action Sept. 25 to fight back. Sign up: afscmego.org#signup

Hard to believe 24 years have passed since the US was forever changed. More that 600 union members were among the victims of the September 11 attacks. Union members were also vital to recovery efforts. @afscme.bsky.social #LaborHistory #RestInPower More here: reuther.wayne.edu/node/13592

πŸ“š Camden County Library workers deserve fair pay! πŸ“š

Our librarians are paid over $17K less than state rec. Low wages mean short staffing, early branch closures, and fewer programs for our community.

On Aug 1, NJ stopped new childcare subsidy appointments & hiked copays, hurting families, closing providers & putting care out of reach.

πŸ§“πŸ½60 years ago, we made a promise: health care for our seniors & most vulnerable.
Now that promise is under attack.

Cuts to Medicare & Medicaid.
Millions to lose care.
Billionaires get tax breaks.

We say: NOT ON OUR WATCH.

Op-Ed: Hoboken’s budget reckoning: Public workers deserve a seat at the table - Hudson County View Op-Ed: AFSCME Local Pres. Dan Drobnis gives his take on why public workers deserve a seat on the table as Hoboken reconciles their budget.

Hoboken’s budget decisions must reflect the value & dignity of the workers who keep it running every day. These workers deserve a real voice in the process & a seat at the table.
We support AFSCME Local 3703 & their fight for fairness, respect, and transparency. hudsoncountyview.com/op-ed-hoboke...

There is no question that the State Health Benefits Program is broken and desperately needs reform. Our hard-working public servants simply cannot afford premium hikes of over 30%, and these costs are also putting intense pressure on municipalities' budgets and property taxes.

Congress just sold out working families to hand another tax break to billionaires who don't need them.

We will hold every elected official accountable who voted to betray our communities and hurt working people.

YES.... if you gut the State Health Care for those who risked their lives to keep NJ running during the pandemic.
