From Labor Day to Every Day: How WAGE Empowers Public Employees
September 2, 2024
As Labor Day winds down, we're reminded not just of the holiday's origins, but of the ongoing fight for the rights and well-being of public employees across the nation. While today many celebrate a well-deserved break, it's also a time to reflect on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for those who serve the public with dedication.
At WAGE, the Working Assembly of Governmental Employees, we stand as a unique coalition dedicated to empowering independent public employee organizations. We believe that true strength lies in autonomy—where independent unions and associations can chart their own course without the constraints of national labor unions. This Labor Day, as we honor the achievements of workers, let's also renew our commitment to the values that define us: independence, collaboration, and ethical excellence.
"With WAGE, we’re not just part of an organization; we’re part of a movement. The empowerment and support we receive from WAGE enable us to make a meaningful impact in the lives of public employees across Virginia." — Virginia Governmental Employees Association
This quote from one of our valued member organizations speaks volumes about the power of community and the impact we can have when we unite under a shared vision. WAGE is more than a network; it's a movement that fosters collaboration while respecting the unique needs and goals of each member organization.
As we move forward from this Labor Day, WAGE invites you to explore the potential within your own organization. How can you leverage the resources, network, and support that WAGE offers to make a difference for your members? Whether it’s through our monthly Zoom meetings, semi-annual assemblies, or access to exclusive resources, WAGE is here to help your organization thrive.
