Why NAGE EMS

/ Why NAGE EMS Is Right For You



NAGE EMS is an EMS union working every day for EMS professionals

NAGE EMS is part of the National Association of Government Employees, a union representing nearly 50,000 public employees and first responders around the country. NAGE is affiliated with the Service Employees International Union, which represents over 2 million members in a wide variety of professions.

Our motto at NAGE EMS is simple—we put “Members First.”
 

But Why Is NAGE EMS right for you?

Because being in a union increases wages, augments benefits and retirements, and improves working conditions for EMS Professionals and workers in general.  EMTs, Paramedics, and EMS support staff as union members generally make more money, receive better benefits and retirements, and have better working conditions than their non-union counterparts.

But more importantly, NAGE EMS members have joined together for mutual benefit and strength.  Together they advocate for improvements to EMS systems, changes to rules, laws, and policies detrimental to EMS, and make changes for the better where they work and live.
