One of our members recently received an unexpected diagnosis. Unfortunately, he is relatively new and doesn’t qualify for FMLA and very little PTO. Please consider helping us support him during this difficult time.

Hard to believe it has been 5 years since lost Hennepin EMS paramedic Karl Meek. Karl was a dedicated paramedic, brother, uncle and son. #gonebutneverforgotten

Just a reminder that β€œHuman Resources” exists to protect the employer and shield them from liability. Unions are the voice of working people and represent an egalitarian and accountable means of protecting workers.

Minnesota EMS β€˜past the first curve’ but in need of more support β€œWe see a higher level of challenges in our more rural and sparsely populated areas,” an official said.

Extremely important to keep up support for EMS across the state of Minnesota. We are working with lawmakers on several initiatives to support our members and our fellow EMS providers across the state!

Senator Dziedzic was a great asset to Minnesota, organized labor and EMS. She will be missed.

Today we honor former HCAPE paramedic Jim Blanchard. Jim died while serving the community on 12-11-2002. He was an amazing paramedic and mentor to many who continue to serve the residents off Hennepin County.

Our members donated tons of toys for a holiday event Hall STEM Academy in Minneapolis. This was a fantastic event that allowed our union members to give back to the community we serve!

You and your co-workers have a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT to organize.

When your boss tries to stop you, they are violating federal law, the Constitution, and your human rights.
