Welcome to AFSCME Local 1724!!!

  AFSCME – the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees – is the largest union at the City of Eugene! AFSCME represents all the “general service” workers at the City except those covered by police, fire and the stagehands unions. AFSCME Local 1724 was organized in 1971. There are approximately 120 job classifications represented by AFSCME and our pay ranges from $10.23 to 26.34 per hour. Currently there are approximately 675 regular full time workers and 110 part time workers, and 12 Recreation Activity Employees (RAEs) members.

Our current contract expires on June 30, 2012. Local 1724 is a democratic organization that holds elections for the Executive Board Officers annually. In addition, we have a Contract Action Team (CATs) that is led by Janis McDonald. Our regular monthly General Membership meetings are on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. The Stewards Council meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month.

Local 1724 is affiliated with the Lane Labor Council, Oregon AFSCME Council 75, the Oregon AFL-CIO and AFSCME International.

Former Local 1724 president, Gary Gillespie, is currently the president of Oregon AFSCME Council 75, our state wide organization. The Oregon AFSCME website can be found at: oregonafscme.com
