AFSCME 1624 represents nearly 4,900 City of Austin and Travis County workers who keep our communities running. Since 1969 -- we are fighting for fair wages, safer working conditions, and respect on the job. We don’t just serve the public — we are the public. Together, we win dignity and power for all.
The union showed up to help save Austin Public Health — an injury to one, is an injury to all.
We stood together to shine a light on what’s at stake as this administration slashes critical public health funding. These reckless cuts hurt real people — and we won’t let it happen in silence.
We fight for our workers. We fight for our community.
At AFSCME 1624, we know our union is only as strong as the members who power it. Every day, public service workers go above and beyond—not just on the job, but in their communities and in our union.

We thank City of Austin Librarian Mike Conti for his continued commitment to labor organizing. Mike has been a passionate advocate for AFSCME, supporting our labor endorsed candidates on the campaign trail, member to member organizing and engagement at his branch and other library worksites, and recently inspired me and his colleagues with his work and heartfelt public comment at the legislature to ensure that Texas does not ban books or unjustly punish library workers for the content available in their collections. He’s humble, and he hesitates to brag on himself, which is why we are happy to brag that we know him.
Being in a union is about more than just individual representation—it’s about standing together, speaking with one voice, and making change happen as a united force.
Stay tuned-- we will need YOUR voice at coordinated AFSCME "Employee Speak-Outs" coming soon. See event calendar below.
