The Montana Federation of Public Employees (MFPE) is Montana’s largest union, created in 2018 when MEA-MFT and the Montana Public Employees Association merged. Our 25,000 members are dedicated public employees who work all across the state, providing essential services to every citizen of Montana. Over 6,500 MFPE members are city, county, and state employees in a wide variety of jobs, from highway patrol officers to nurses, from wildlife biologists to accountants. Others are school and university employees -- teachers and staff in Head Start, K-12 schools, and higher education. But all are committed to defending, promoting, enhancing and growing the Montana labor movement and middle class. Montana’s public employees are the people who work to keep our communities and neighborhoods safe, promote the creation of new businesses and jobs, and educate our children.
