About Us

With more than 24,000 EMS workers in both the private and public sectors, we are the nation’s fastest growing EMS union. We stand united with members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), AFL-CIO.

Our mission is to improve the standards in our profession so that we can better serve the public and make EMS work a viable and respected career path.  By joining with AFSCME, we have the strength and resources to get it done. Across the country, we are improving EMS through collective bargaining and political action, while pushing back against cuts and declining standards.
