The eighth episode of AFGE’s new series, The Activist, highlighting our union members who have stepped up to help make a difference in the lives of their colleagues and our government.
Stephanie Perkins is a mediator with the EEOC and has been an AFGE member since 1994, currently serving as president of Local 3504 based in Chicago.
