President
Fairfax County Government Employees Union
SEIU Local 5

As a regular county employee, I saw the need to organize and form our own Union. By uniting, we've gained a real voice in the decisions that affect us every day. That's how we make real change in the County!

County Employees wear all kinds of collars, blue, white, and sometimes none. We provide the muscle, the brains, and the dedication in every Fairfax County agency. We produce data, oversee and execute projects, and deliver the administrative services--all to serve the citizens of our county.

By joining together, we have become an officially recognized organization by Fairfax County Government. We will continue to grow and organize in the hopes of achieving a better workplace for all employees. We're looking ahead to address on-the-job safety and health and the county's flawed pay system.

Please join me in speaking in one voice, for the better working conditions and fair rewards for your hard work, join us today!
