Company overview

District Council 37

District Council 37, AFSCME, AFL-CIO is one of New York City’s largest, most diverse, and influential unions. Our members run New York’s public, private, and nonprofit sectors in more than 1,000 job titles. From archivists and day care workers, school lunch aides and sign painters, teletherapy clinicians and urban park rangers, our members are essential workers who serve this city every day. Our members care for the sick, the children, and the elderly. We maintain bridges, parks, roads and subways. We staff hospitals, schools, libraries, social service centers, museums, and city colleges. We do the clerical work, maintenance work, and technical work that keeps this city running. Our state members uphold rent regulations and serve as interpreters and reporters in the courts. Some of us wear uniforms, some of us wear hard hats, some of us use computers, and some of us drive fleet vehicles. United in DC 37, we are a mighty and powerful force to be reckoned with. We’re also part of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) with more than 1.6 million members like us nationwide.
