 Welcome to the home of UE Local 893 -
Iowa United Professionals. We’re a democratic, member-run, independent
union. Our members include hundreds of social workers, income maintenance
workers, environmental specialists, vocational rehabilitation workers,
correctional counselors, county road crews, school district support staffs,
municipal employees and many others. We are united by our dedication to the idea
of real rank-and-file unionism. Our motto is "The Members Run This Union"—
and we mean it!
Many Voices — One Voice
We believe that Iowa is best served by a public sector that can
respond to the needs of the citizens. We engage in independent political action
to fight for the right to do our jobs effectively with the resources we need to
do them well. Improved standards of programs and jobs don’t just happen
because of state benevolence, but due to many voices that are organized into one
voice which makes a clear statement of our needs and the community’s
priorities.
Join Us!
Our strength is our unity. Iowa workers do not have to
belong to the union. But our hundreds of members know that their membership in
UE Local 893/IUP gives them a strong voice on the job and in state
government. And UE Local 893/IUP is a union that feels strongly about clean,
fair and democratic participation of all members. For every member who joins
our negotiating strength increases, all employees are better
represented and the contract improves. If you are not a member, but
your workplace is represented by UE Local 893/IUP, we invite you to join
us ...
