NAGE / SEIU Enters into Historic Agreement with NEMSA
May 07, 2012
The International Association of EMTs and Paramedics is proud to announce an affiliation agreement between NAGE, the IAEP’s parent union, and the National EMS Association. This new alliance creates the most powerful partnerships for EMS professionals across the country.
“Combining our resources is the right thing to do for our members,” said David J. Holway, IAEP / NAGE national president. “By having NEMSA join with us, we have a unique opportunity to move past our differences and gain significant strength to advocate for our members.”
With such an unprecedented presence in the EMS industry, the IAEP, alongside of NEMSA, will have more opportunities to improve services, job conditions, and wages. More importantly, this provides EMS professionals a powerful unified front to help move pro-industry legislation.
“I’m excited to see this partnership come together,” said Scott Schaub, an IAEP member from Enfield EMS (Local R1-717 of Connecticut). “This is a milestone for EMS. The stronger we are together, the more we can lift our entire industry.”
The new collaboration will also have important and long lasting effects for IAEP and NEMSA members everywhere.
“This is a real game changer and puts EMS providers across the country on notice,” said IAEP National Director Philip Petit. “Through our new found unity and strength, our members will have greater influence in their workplace and a greater ability to enact change alongside their brothers and sisters across the country.”
