The provision of services is vital to the University of Rhode Island and the members of Local 528, council 94, AFSCME have a critical mission-to lead the service industry in the delivery of services that satisfy our customer’s and our employer’s needs. We will do so with great concern for safety, economy, and our environment, and each other. Because leadership is not a static condition, Local 528 cannot rest with the quality we have achieved, but must innovate, improve, and continue to surpass our own best efforts. Our members are the source of our strength and the key to the successful fulfillment of our mission. We believe that if we pursue our mission, the University will return a quality product to the people of the State of Rhode Island and to those who have invested in the University for their education.
