United EMS Workers (AFSCME Local 4911) members provide the vital emergency and non emergency medical services to communities across the United States. We are EMTs, Paramedics, CCT Nurses, Call Takers, Dispatchers, Vehicle Stockers, and Vehicle Service Techs. For us, EMS is not just a job, it’s a calling. We are prepared to prepare and respond to any call for help with just a moments notice. Wherever we are, we’re proud to take on the responsibility of helping to keep this country strong. UEMSW/AFSCME is a union made up of a diverse group of people who share a common commitment to the communities we serve. We see the big picture and gladly accept the responsibility of guarding and nurturing it — not because we expect to be recognized for our sacrifice, but because we know the job is crucial in order for our communities to remain safe. That’s why we’re in emergency medical services — to keep our families safe and make our communities strong. While we work for justice in the workplace, we advocate for prosperity and opportunity for all of America’s working families. We not only stand for fairness at the bargaining table — we fight for fairness at the ballot box and in the halls of government.
