Council 247 is the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) council
representing Social Security Administration (SSA) bargaining unit employees
throughout the agency's San Francisco Region — the region our members simply call
home base for federal service in the West.
 

Our reach runs across the states of Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada, together
with the territories of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, reaching field offices
across the region and the employees who keep them running.
 

The council is made up of four AFGE locals, each led by its own president and
stewards. Together, under one council, we enforce the national contract, represent
members in grievances and discipline, and defend the pay, safety, and working
conditions of federal employees region-wide.
