Public Safety Employee's Doing Minnesota's Work
Public Safety Local 3142 first organized in 1981. We have since become known
as the local with "Proud Spirit". Local 3142 is a statewide union local
which serves 800 State of Minnesota employees in 18 Divisions of the
Department of Public Safety. Minnesota Public Safety local is made up
of a diverse section of agencies including Driver and Vehicle Services,
State Patrol and its Commercial Vehicle Section, Pipeline Safety, Capitol
Security, State Fire Marshall, Homeland Security, Alcohol and Gambling,
Crime Victim Services, and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
Public Safety Local 3142 holds regular monthly membership meetings the second
Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. The meetings are held at AFSCME Minnesota
Council 5 offices at
300 Hardman Ave. S., South St. Paul, MN.
We provide phone
hookups to those members that reside in out-state areas. We request members
notify a local officer the day prior to meetings to accommodate phone hookup
connections.
Local 3142 members participate fully in the administration and operation of the
local as stewards, officers, negotiations delegates, convention delegates, and
political activists. Our local continues to be involved at the Council level.
The local has had a representative on the Master negotiating team for most of
the bargaining years. We are proud to remember that throughout the years the
goal has been to continually put members at the "U" in our union. We look
forward to continual growth and solidarity in the coming years in Public
Safety Local 3142.
