There is another strictly EMS union. That is NEMSA (National EMS Association)www.nemsausa.org

IAEP is affiliated with NAGE which falls under SEIU (basically that means its a smaller union that falls under the umbrella of a larger (non-EMS related) union.

NEMSA is an independent and somewhat new union. They are pretty much in the CA/WA area, and in the New England (MA, NH, ME and maybe soon CT)area, and they also have Fort Wayne, IN. as well. This organization is 100% EMS (although they dabble slightly in wheelchair divisions of some EMS companies). From the President to all the Reps (even the attorney) they are all EMTs and Medics. My company is looking at them now, and it may be worth it to others to look that way as well. Look at their web site.
