Ward 3 EBRPD candidate Rebecca Lewington asked to meet with our members at our monthly membership meeting on September 2. After voicing their concerns and hearing from her plans as a Board member for the Park District, AFSCME Local 2428 members overwhelmingly endorsed Rebecca Lewington for East Bay Regional Park District Ward 3.

Members believe she is willing to listen to the employees at every level and ensure that AFSCME members that “make East Bay Parks Happen” are treated fairly and respected as essential professionals.

Candidate Lewington recognizes that AFSCME members are the backbone of East Bay Regional Parks, maintaining trails, protecting natural areas, and serving visitors every day. She's pledged to partner with our union as a true collaborator, not just during election season.

Engineer, communicator, and 30-year parks user running for the EBRPD Board, Ward 3. Conservation, recreation, and access for all.

Dolly Parton wrote “9 to 5” more than 45 years ago, and working people have been singing along ever since.

But there’s a part of Dolly’s story that doesn’t get talked about nearly as much.

She carried a union card.

Dolly joined the American Federation of Musicians Local 257 in Nashville in 1967. And as her career went from local stages to sold-out arenas, movies, awards and becoming one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world, she kept it.

For 58 years.

And it wasn’t just a card in her wallet. Dolly worked under union contracts and made sure the musicians who helped make her music were covered by them, too.

She became an icon. But she never stopped being a working musician.

Maybe that’s why “9 to 5” hit the way it did. She understood something working people have always known: the boss has the power when you stand alone. When you stand together, you’ve got some power, too.

9 to 5. Union for life.

Rest easy, union sister. ❤️

The International Trade Union Confederation - ITUC's Global Rights Index is the world’s comprehensive survey of the violation of workers’ rights.

For the first time, the United States has landed on their watchlist. The US is less safe and less free for workers.
