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.
Growing up in Detroit, her family members were auto factory workers and heavily involved with the United Auto Workers, their union. She credits her strong union background as inspiring her to become a member of AFGE.
