In the past few weeks, AFSCME members in Anchorage, Alaska, rallied behind Statehouse candidate Andy Josephson, who vowed to bring “new energy to a new district.” But before he officially declared his bid to represent the 132,000 residents of Midtown District 15, not many knew that this 48-year-old lawyer and former teacher is also the grandson of Arnold Zander, the first president of AFSCME. ….. In 1932, Zander formed the Wisconsin State Employees Association (WSEA), which would later become AFSCME after it was granted a charter by then American Federation of Labor (AFL) in 1936.
