WHAT HAS UPEA DONE TO IMPROVE AND ENHANCE OUR SYSTEM OF PUBLIC SERVICE?

It is a fact of life that every decision that affects public service and the public employee is a political decision. That's why UPEA has a comprehensive program to help elect individuals to public office at all levels of government, who support the public employee goals of competence on the job, competitive compensation and benefits for all public employees and public awareness campaigns that attest to the value of the public employee.

UPEA has the reputation of being a powerful lobby relative all public employee matters. The UPEA lobby team consistently works to improve public service delivery systems insuring the public is appropriately served and that the public employee is appropriately protected, compensated and appreciated.

As a result of UPEA's work on Capitol Hill, Utah legislators have regularly passed legislation that provides benefits for public employees. Likewise UPEA has been there and has been effective working with county and municipal governments to insure the public employee is valued and compensated.

Public employee issues require constant monitoring, revision and advocacy. UPEA works full time with political leaders to insure public service and public employment are valued, understood and protected.

UPEA, the voice for public service and of the Public Employee invites and encourages all Public Employees to join the UPEA family today.
