The Union Police and Fire Department organizations are made up of men and women whose sole responsibility is the safety and protection of the citizens of the Township of Union. The history of both the police profession and fire profession is a story of men and women who have dedicated their lives to helping people. The heritage of both of these careers has always been one of bravery, loyalty, and devotion to public service. These characteristics, along with a strong commitment to a personal calling that places their lives in jeopardy on a daily basis, makes the careers. of both police officers and firefighters truly proud professions. Success is only possible when there's a unity of purpose.

It is through collective strengths of our diverse membership that has earned the honor and respect necessary to move forward and accomplish our goals. Each of our departments has gained respect throughout the State of New Jersey from the heads of the respective departments to the newest rank and file members. Unfortunately, this respect has not been granted by our local politicians and township administrators.

Therefore, a coalition was formed on November 30, 2007, by every member of the Union Police and Fire Department for the sole purpose of uniting the four (4) unions that represent the Uniformed Emergency Service workers in the Township of Union.

We, the members of the Union Police and Fire Departments, have all taken the oath to serve the citizens of the Township of Union. We work tirelessly, day and night, to protect the safety, rights, and properties of the citizens of this great community. It is our job, our careers, and our duty. We accept and understand the hardships and stress that we may bring upon ourselves and our families because of the inherent danger of our chosen professions, but, we all consider it a privilege to serve.

We the members. of FMBA Local 46, FMBA Local 246, PBA Local 69, and SOA Local 69, reaffirm the mission of this newly formed coalition is to act as an advocate to make sure employee rights are recognized and enforced by law.
