AFSCME members take to State Capitol for Lobby Day
A group of AFSCME Council 13 members took to the State Capitol in Harrisburg on December 12 for meetings with various legislators about important policies that impact working people, including public sector OSHA.
AFSCME Council 13 members gather at the State Capitol in Harrisburg for Lobby Day on December 12, 2023.
As part of this Lobby Day, union members met with State Senators Comitta, Dillon, Schwank, Street, Tartaglione, Williams, Muth, Collett, Saval, Miller, Flynn, Kane, Coleman, and Gebhard. We thank each senator for their time and look forward to working with them on this and other policy initiatives.
The primary focus of the meetings was the issue of public sector OSHA, which has recently seen some progress with the passage of House Bill 299. With this Lobby Day and other efforts, Council 13 is putting pressure on the Senate to get this bill across the finish line so that public employees in Pennsylvania can finally enjoy the same workplace protections as their private sector counterparts.
You can find information on that bill and others on Council 13’s online Bill Tracker.
