President's Monthly Report

May 17, 2025

Angela S. Dameron, President

Please check your email and the AFSCME 1583 website periodically. As we set up informational meetings in the weeks ahead this will be our way of communicating with you. If you are having issues with getting a steward and that the stewards are unavailable due to them being in negotiations, please contact the union office. 

Welcome new members! Thank you for joining the AFSCME Local 1583 union and for helping us to show our strength during negotiations and beyond…...In Solidarity we stand! 

Do you know that being a dues paying member in good standing means that you can hold any office in the union? You can also be a member of the bargaining team, vote on the contract, hold any office, attend union meetings, and enjoy union events. 

Not receiving emails? Please be sure to update your email and password with HITS. The union primarily relies on email to notify you of important union information as well as upcoming events. Unfortunately, this information is not handled by the union.

Site Visits- South Quad-Orientation, Michigan Medicine, Building Services Orientation, Patient Transportation, Warehouse and PFANS.
