We Are the Union for Professional Employees

We are engineers, scientists, nonprofit employees, technicians, lawyers, and many other professionals who have joined together to have a greater voice in our careers. Our union is a bottom-up, member-based organization that helps professional and technical employees raise wages, benefits, and working conditions, and advocate for public policies that impact our professions and communities. With over 80,000 members spread across the U.S. and Canada, we invite you and your colleagues to consider the benefits of engaging in collective bargaining.
