Your membership ID is found on your membership card. I was able to access
without it but my e-mail is AFSMCE registered so that may account for it.
LERC Trainings
The Labor Education and Research Center at the U of O offers very informative
classes with the additional benefit of engaging with members from other unions
and AFSCME locals. Please visit the site below for a listing of upcoming
trainings.

If you are interested in any of these classes, please contact Local 3336 Chief
Steward Bill McMillen.
The Local traditionally pays for class fees, mileage and lost time if incurred.

Many of our members, along with many other Americans, are facing challenges due
