The bulk of NEMSA’s membership consists of emergency medical technicians (EMTs), paramedics and critical care nurses (CCT-RN). NEMSA is the largest independent EMS union in the United States that represents EMS professionals. Because of NEMSA’s independence and industry specific focus, NEMSA is considered to be a “craft” union. In some cases however, NEMSA has temporarily allied itself with other unions to accomplish specific joint-interest objectives.

Politics

. NEMSA does not advocate or recommend specific political candidates or parties.

Critics

NEMSA has been criticized by some non-EMS unions of “raiding” their members. Labor industry experts are quick to point out however that members of prior unions voted in secret ballot elections to oust their non-EMS union in favor of NEMSA, exposing the former non-EMS union’s lack of EMS industry specific member service. NEMSA points out that EMS professionals represented by non-EMS unions seek EMS specific representation and that NEMSA is just responding to requests for representation.
