Council 2 is fastest growing union

COUNCIL 2, which now has 15,000 members, was the fastest growing AFSCME union in 2000.

"We added close to 1,000 new members last year," Chris Dugovich, President and Executive Director of Council 2, told the union’s biennial convention in June.

"Two years ago, we were number two in growth. Council 75 in Oregon was number one. Last year, however, we grew faster than anyone else."

Dugovich added that credit for the rapid growth must go to the staff and to Organizing Director Bill Keenan.
