When the members of the North Dakota Public Employees Association voted in February to approve a merger with the North Dakota Education Association to form North Dakota United, they voted for a lot of incredibly big changes. A change in the size and scope of our organization added complexity of our cause, a significant alteration to our history, and new leadership.

On February 2, 2013, NDPEA delegates from across the state came to Bismarck to vote on the merger of NDPEA and NDEA to form North Dakota United (NDU).
