INDEPENDENCE, Mo. – With an overwhelming majority voting “yes” this week, EMS professionals at AMR-Independence/South Platte are now part of EMS Workers United-AFSCME, the nation's fastest growing union for emergency medical personnel.

"After all of our hard work these past few months, this is a big moment for us," said Laura Cain, a paramedic and an active member of the union’s organizing committee. Coming from a strong union family, with firefighter brothers and an autoworker dad, Cain says she knows that the election marks a beginning and is ready for the challenges ahead.

"We knew when we started this, things wouldn't be easy,” Cain says. “This has always been about elevating the EMS profession and that's what we're going to do."
