The FY25-26 COA budget is passed — and the TRE is officially headed to Austin voters.

AFSCME 1624 helped secure major wins for City workers and our community.

Now, we turn to the next fight — winning the TRE! When workers rise, Austin rises with us.

@afscme 1624 member B. Ray—an Austin Energy electrical supervisor—was hit hard by flooding in Liberty Hill on July 5. In minutes, 4ft of water took over his home. He, his wife, and kids were rescued, but his home suffered damage.

We visited him today—he’s ok, cleaning up, and in good spirits.

City workers spoke out on pay, staffing & frontline conditions—and Council listened. Powerful night of unity, truth, and action. The Green Machine rolls on. 💚

VICTORY: The Refugee Clinic stays open (for now).

AFSCME 1624 members stood up, spoke out, and won a lifeline (until Sept. 30)

Workers keep their jobs. Refugees keep their care.
This is what union power looks like.
