How Oregon AFSCME Works
Oregon AFSCME is one of the largest, move active unions in Oregon. We are member-driven. Every member has a vote in the election of their local union officers and board members as well as ratification of contracts. Members also decide on policies, activities, and dues.
The union is governed by a statewide Executive Board. The Executive Board is elected every two years by delegates to the union’s biennial convention. The full Executive Board meets quarterly. A 17-member sub-group, the Executive Committee is comprised of the union’s top elected officers and meets monthly.
