AFSCME

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME, the union representing most government employees, says vacancies across state agencies limit workers' ability to provide essential services, from processing unemployment claims to caring for patients at state hospitals.

Workers at the Walters Museum and Baltimore City officials debated whether the institution is public or private at a council hearing Thursday, as staffers attempt to unionize through AFSCME, which represents city employees.
