About Our Union
North Dakota United (NDU) was created by the merger of the North Dakota Education Association (NDEA) and the North Dakota Public Employees Association (NDPEA). The Representative Assemblies of both organizations voted overwhelmingly in February 2013 for the merger.

Our union of professionals in public education and public services, of over 11,500 teachers and professors, school and university support staff, public employees, students and retired workers, is our greatest asset and the power available to you as a member.
You are the U in NDU
Our collective voice is powerful at the local, state, and national level. We work together to ensure that educators and public employees have a stronger voice.
And as the state’s largest union, we have a powerful collective voice to make real change in North Dakota. Nationally, our collective power includes the over 4.7 million combined members of our two national affiliates, the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
