About Us

UPEA is the largest labor organization representing public employees in Utah —working to ensure they are protected, compensated, and appreciated. UPEA has fought for the advancement and rights of Utah’s public employees since 1959. The organization was the first voice for public employees in Utah and has been instrumental in securing the benefits and protections in place today.

Join Utah Public Employees Association Standing Comittee

Joining a standing committee is a great option for members looking to take an active role in UPEA. These committees provide direct input and recommendations from the general membership to the Advisory Council and State Board. UPEA encourages members from all districts to become involved in one or more of these committees, share their input, and actively work toward the improvement of public employment. Members who cannot travel to the UPEA headquarters in Murray may participate virtually.
