PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
No one wants to pay more taxes than they have to. But a recent survey of
500 U.S. households, conducted by Fidelity and Yankelovich Partners, showed
that few people took steps to reduce their taxes under the new tax laws
that went into effect last year. In fact, many people were not completely
aware of the changes until they filed their 1993 tax returns.
Whether or not you're someone whose tax bill increased as a result of these
changes, it may make sense to consider ways to keep more of what you earn.
First, if your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan,
consider enrolling. These plans are set up so you can make regular
contributions -
before taxes - to a retirement savings plan. They offer a disciplined
savings strategy, the ability to accumulate earnings tax-deferred, and
immediate tax savings. For example, if you earn $40,000 a year and
contribute 7% of your salary to your 401(k) plan, your annual contribution
is $2,800. That reduces your taxable income to $37,200 and, if you're in
the
28% tax bracket, saves you $784 in federal taxes. In addition, you pay no
taxes on any earnings until withdrawal.
It may be a good idea to contact your benefits office as soon as possible
to find out when you can enroll or increase your contribution. Most
employers allow employees to make changes only a few times each year.
Second, consider an IRA. Many people are eligible to make an IRA
contribution (up to $2,000) that is fully tax deductible. That includes
people who are not covered by company pension plans, or those within
certain income brackets. Even if you don't qualify for a fully deductible
contribution, any IRA earnings will grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Third, consider tax-free investments like municipal bonds and municipal
bond funds. Often these can provide higher after-tax yields than comparable
taxable investments. For example, if you're in the new 36% federal income
tax bracket and invest $10,000 in a taxable investment yielding 7%, you'll
pay $252 in federal taxes and receive $448 in income. That same $10,000
invested in a tax-free bond fund yielding 5.5% would allow you to keep $550
in income.
These are three investment strategies that could help lower your tax bill
in 1994. If you're interested in learning more, please call us at
1-800-544-8888 or visit a Fidelity Investor Center. We look forward to
talking with you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the total returns,
dividends and yields would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Spartan Intermediate Municipal 1.47% 6.77%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 1.05% n/a
Average Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund 1.25% n/a
Consumer Price Index 1.31% 1.88%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months or since the fund started on
April 26, 1993. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare
these figures to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the municipal bond market. To measure how the
fund stacked up against its peers, you can look at the average intermediate
municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of 81 similar funds
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's performance to
the Consumer Price Index helps show how your fund did compared to
inflation. (The periods covered by the CPI numbers are the closest
available match to those covered by the fund).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return
and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. In the fund's next report we'll report these
numbers for the fund and the benchmarks.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Intermediate Municipal Fund on April 30, 1993, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by February 28, 1994, the value of your
investment with dividends reinvested would have grown to $10,650 - a 6.50%
increase on your initial investment. This assumes you still owned the fund
on February 28, 1994, and therefore does not include the effect of the $5
account closeout fee. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested,
the same $10,000 would have grown to $10,559 - a 5.59% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

INCOME returns, capital gain returns, and changes in share price are all
part of a bond fund's total return. An income return reflects the dividends
paid by the fund. A capital gain return reflects the amount paid by the
fund to shareholders based on the profits it has from selling bonds that
have grown in value. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Changes in the fund's share price include changes in the prices
of the bonds owned by the fund. Change in share price and total return
figures include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $10.39 over
the past six months and $10.28 over the life of fund, you can compare the
fund's income over these two periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also
helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're in the 36% tax
bracket.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with David Murphy,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Intermediate Municipal Fund
Q. DAVID, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. For the six months ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total return
of 1.47%. That was ahead of the average intermediate municipal bond fund's
return of 1.25% for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical
Services.
Q. HOW DID YOU COME OUT AHEAD?
A. Having a longer-than-average duration - about 7.7 years at the end of
February - helped the fund when interest rates fell, as they generally did
during the period. Duration is a measure of how much a bond's price will
vary with changes in interest rates. Typically, the longer the duration,
the more a bond's price will rise as interest rates fall. In February,
however, when the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates by a
quarter of a percentage point, having a longer duration hurt the fund.
Q. IN LIGHT OF THE FED'S MOVE, DID YOU CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY?
A. Since I'm somewhat concerned about interest rates rising over the short
term, I have recently started to shorten the fund's duration a bit.
However, I haven't radically altered it, leaving it positioned to take
advantage of falling interest rates over the next few years. That's based
on my view that the Fed is very serious about being the inflation watchdog.
Low inflation is generally good for bonds. Historically, a pick-up in the
economy, such as we saw in the fourth quarter of 1993, means higher
inflation. But this time, I don't think that relationship will hold up.
Q. WHY NOT?
A. Because I think that inflation is low, lower than the market has
anticipated. We still haven't seen a broad-based increase in any of the
three basic components of higher inflation: commodity prices, labor costs
and the cost of borrowing money. While it's true that some commodity
prices, like gold, grains and copper, have risen, others, like oil,
haven't. Plus, some of the hike in agricultural prices can be attributed to
extraordinary factors like last year's flood and the recent cold weather.
Q. AND THE TWO OTHER INFLATIONARY
SIGNALS?
A. On the wage side, many U.S. companies now have the flexibility to move
their production overseas, where labor prices are often cheaper, and that
has kept pressure on domestic labor costs. Also, productivity has
increased, which means the actual cost of producing one unit of a given
good has come down. Finally, the cost of borrowing money or raising capital
is still low. In my view, these all add up to continued low inflation,
which could in turn lead to falling interest rates, especially in the
intermediate and longer end of the maturity spectrum - between 10 and 30
years.
Q. WHAT CHOICES HAVE YOU MADE IN TERMS OF MATURITY?
A. I've concentrated a large amount of the fund - 42.5% at the end of
February - in bonds with 10 to 15-year maturities. Up to 15 years, the
yield curve, meaning the difference in yield between bonds of different
maturities, is steep. That means you get rewarded with more yield for
buying a 12-year bond, for instance, than a bond in the five-year range.
Beyond 15 years, the yield curve is flat and you don't get rewarded much
for buying a longer-term bond. For example, a 12-year AAA-rated bond can
pay over 90% of the yield of a 30-year bond. This was balanced by bonds in
the 7- to 10-year range, which made up about 35% of the fund's investments
at the end of the period.
Q. IN WHAT STATES DID YOU FOCUS?
A. The fund's largest state concentrations were Texas at 14.7%, New York at
13.5%, and California at 12.5%. Texas bonds are attractive, in part,
because the state's economy is fairly healthy. I also favored
state-appropriated New York bonds. These rely on annual appropriations by
the legislature to meet debt service. State-appropriated bonds were
downgraded in 1992 to Baa. But we believe there's a likelihood that they'll
be upgraded in the next year, which should boost their prices. Over the
past six months, I have sold some California bonds. I continue to hold the
remainder because I think the state's economy is at a turning point. I also
believe we should see evidence of expansion soon, even though that
expansion initially will be modest.
Q. THE FUND'S LARGEST STAKE WAS IN DENVER AIRPORT BONDS AT 6.5% OF THE
FUND'S ASSETS. WERE THEY HURT WHEN THE NEW AIRPORT OPENING WAS DELAYED?
A. Yes, and that was disappointing. But the delay is only temporary and was
caused by some kinks that developed in the new airport's baggage handling
system. The bonds also suffered some on the news that Continental Airlines
will cut back on the number of flights they make to that destination.
There's some speculation that Continental might withdraw from the hub all
together, leaving United Airlines as the only carrier. But I continue to
hold the bonds for a couple reasons. First, the airport is a
state-of-the-art facility which was built at a reasonable cost. Second, I
believe the airport is viable even if United Airlines is the sole carrier
into Denver.
Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK INVESTORS CAN EXPECT FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. More volatility. The municipal bond market seems to be expecting the Fed
to raise short-term interest rates to 4%. Until that happens, the market
will probably remain unsettled. But eventually, I believe long-term
municipal rates will start to fall again, and that intermediate rates could
come down as well. Plus, the dwindling supply of municipal bonds should
help. Last year, the total supply of municipals issued was about $290
billion. This year, it's expected to be about half of that. Falling
interest rates and dwindling supply would be positive for municipal bond
prices.

DAVID MURPHY ON INTERMEDIATE
BONDS:
"I think that intermediate
bonds in the five- to 15-year
range will once again be
attractive in 1994. The yield
curve - or the difference in
yield between bonds with
various maturities - is very
steep up to15 years. A
15-year AAA bond pays about
5.5% yield, compared to a
five-year bond which pays
only 4.5%. But in the 15- to
30-year range, the curve
starts to flatten. In that longer
range, you only get rewarded
with about one-quarter of a
percent in incremental yield.
What's more, some
institutional investors have
started to increase their
investments in intermediate
bonds. That increased
demand could be an
additional positive for
intermediate municipal bond
prices."
(bullet) On February 28, the fund's
largest sector concentration
was education bonds which
made up 23.8% of the fund's
investments. Most of these
were student loan bonds,
which were attractive in part
because loan defaults are
reimbursed by the federal
government and the bonds
usually carry a high rating.
They also offer relatively high
yields.
(bullet) On February 28, the fund's
second largest sector was
local and state general
obligation bonds (GOs),
which are backed by the
taxing power of the issuer.
The fund focused on GOs that
offered relatively high yields.

For the period ended February 28, 1994 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Intermediate Municipal Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days are valued either at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approxi-
mate current value. Securities for which quotations are not readily
available through the pricing service are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attri-
buted are apportioned between the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
futures transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also
utilized earnings and profits distributed to share-
holders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction
for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating
to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in
capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS - CONTINUED
basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date
of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date
when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time
the transaction is negotiated. The fund identifies securities as segregated
in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the amount of the
purchase commitment.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures contracts and
write options. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
market risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent
of the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of instruments.
Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the
price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and
interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to
perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $154,967,178 and $95,765,703, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$22,426,178 and $22,357,963, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses
except the compensation of the non-
interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $4,099.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220%
5. BANK BORROWINGS -

of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on the borrowings is the
bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The maximum loan and the
average daily loan balance during the period for which the loan was
outstanding amounted to $1,400,000. The weighted average interest rate
was 3.625%.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund's operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above a specified percentage of average net assets. During the
period, this expense limitation ranged from .10% to .20% of average net
assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $497,115.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
No one wants to pay more taxes than they have to. But a recent survey of
500 U.S. households, conducted by Fidelity and Yankelovich Partners, showed
that few people took steps to reduce their taxes under the new tax laws
that went into effect last year. In fact, many people were not completely
aware of the changes until they filed their 1993 tax returns.
Whether or not you're someone whose tax bill increased as a result of these
changes, it may make sense to consider ways to keep more of what you earn.
First, if your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan,
consider enrolling. These plans are set up so you can make regular
contributions -
before taxes - to a retirement savings plan. They offer a disciplined
savings strategy, the ability to accumulate earnings tax-deferred, and
immediate tax savings. For example, if you earn $40,000 a year and
contribute 7% of your salary to your 401(k) plan, your annual contribution
is $2,800. That reduces your taxable income to $37,200 and, if you're in
the
28% tax bracket, saves you $784 in federal taxes. In addition, you pay no
taxes on any earnings until withdrawal.
It may be a good idea to contact your benefits office as soon as possible
to find out when you can enroll or increase your contribution. Most
employers allow employees to make changes only a few times each year.
Second, consider an IRA. Many people are eligible to make an IRA
contribution (up to $2,000) that is fully tax deductible. That includes
people who are not covered by company pension plans, or those within
certain income brackets. Even if you don't qualify for a fully deductible
contribution, any IRA earnings will grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Third, consider tax-free investments like municipal bonds and municipal
bond funds. Often these can provide higher after-tax yields than comparable
taxable investments. For example, if you're in the new 36% federal income
tax bracket and invest $10,000 in a taxable investment yielding 7%, you'll
pay $252 in federal taxes and receive $448 in income. That same $10,000
invested in a tax-free bond fund yielding 5.5% would allow you to keep $550
in income.
These are three investment strategies that could help lower your tax bill
in 1994. If you're interested in learning more, please call us at
1-800-544-8888 or visit a Fidelity Investor Center. We look forward to
talking with you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the total returns,
dividends and yields would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund
started on June 4, 1990. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that
had a 5% return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can
compare these figures to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond index - a broad guage of the municipal bond market. To measure how the
fund stacked up against its peers, you can look at the average general
municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of 177 municipal bond
funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's
performance to the consumer price index helps show how your fund did
compared to inflation.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Municipal Income Portfolio on June 30, 1990, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by February 28, 1994, the value of your
investment would have grown to $14,313 - a 43.13% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still own the fund on February 28, 1994, and
therefore does not include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond index did over
the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have
grown to $14,089 - a 40.89% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

INCOME returns, capital gain returns, and changes in share price are all
part of a bond fund's total return. An income return reflects the dividends
paid by the fund. A capital gain return reflects the amount paid by the
fund to shareholders based on the profits it has from selling bonds that
have grown in value. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Changes in the fund's share price include changes in the prices
of the bonds owned by the fund. Change in share price and total return
figures include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.02 over
the past six months and $11.06 over the past year, you can compare the
fund's income over these two periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also
helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're in the 36% tax
bracket.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Interview with Norman Lind, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Municipal Income
Portfolio
Q. NORM, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. For the six months ended February 28, 1994, the fund returned 1.12%.
That beat the average municipal bond fund's return of 0.75% for the same
period, according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY?
A. I invested in bonds that were more sensitive to falling interest rates.
For example, when interest rates fell - as they did for most of the period
- - having a large stake in non-callable bonds helped the fund. These bonds -
which were about 40% of the fund's investments on February 28 - can't be
repaid before their scheduled maturities. They have a long duration, which
is a measure of interest rate sensitivity. That means their prices rise
more as interest rates fall - or fall more as rates rise.
Q. SIX MONTHS AGO, YOU ALSO CREDITED PREMIUM BONDS WITH HELPING THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE. DID THEY CONTINUE TO WORK IN THE FUND'S FAVOR?
A. Yes, particularly the premium bonds that were pre-refunded. Premium
bonds trade at more than face value because they carry an interest rate
above the current rate for similar bonds. Plus, they trade to their early
call dates rather than to maturity, and so, are less volatile. When these
bonds were pre-refunded the fund benefited. With pre-refunding, the issuer
sells a new lower-interest bond, invests the proceeds in short-term
government securities, and pays off the old bond at the earliest
opportunity which is usually the first call date. The fund's premium bonds
that were pre-refunded became worth more because they were then backed by
the highest-rated government securities.
Q. WHEN THE FEDERAL RESERVE RAISED INTEREST RATES IN FEBRUARY, DID OWNING
THESE TYPES OF BONDS BACKFIRE?
A. Yes - just as the bonds helped the fund when interest rates were
falling, they hurt the fund when interest rates rose. But I think that over
the next several months rates will probably remain stable and could even
begin to fall again by the summer. That's because I interpret the Fed's
move as a pre-emptive strike which I think means it's serious about keeping
inflation in check - which when rising can cause interest rates to rise. In
my view, that move will eventually be positive for the bond market. Plus, I
believe there's no real hard evidence that inflation is going to pick up
again and be a threat.
Q. WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
A. Because the economy still isn't showing the kind of sustainable robust
pickup you'd normally expect at this stage of a recovery. U.S. job growth
is relatively slow, and there's been no significant improvement in the
world economy that could help ignite a stronger domestic recovery.
Q. TURNING BACK TO YOUR STRATEGY, IN WHICH STATES DID YOU FIND
OPPORTUNITIES?
A. Recently, I built a 13.4% stake in New York, the fund's largest state
concentration on February 28. Most of these bonds are state-appropriated,
which means they rely on annual appropriations by the state legislature to
meet all or part of the principal and interest payments. Recently, New York
issued a large quantity of bonds, so the heavy supply meant the bonds were
cheap relative to where they usually trade. What's more, the state's credit
quality rating stands a pretty good chance of being upgraded over the next
12 months or so. California - the fund's second largest state concentration
at 10.1% - is attractive because it appears the economy and the state's
fiscal situation are finally showing signs of stabilizing. Our research
department has determined that the recent Los Angeles earthquake doesn't
appear to have had any impact on the California bonds in the fund, but it's
something we'll continue to monitor going forward.
Q. HOW HAVE THE FUND'S HOUSING BONDS - WHICH YOU SAID WERE DISAPPOINTING
SIX MONTHS AGO - DONE
RECENTLY?
A. They continued to perform poorly. As interest rates fell, more
homeowners refinanced their older, more expensive mortgages at lower rates.
While that had been going on for a while, it was somewhat surprising just
how fast and far rates dropped. But I may consider adding more housing
bonds to the fund. That's because the housing bonds issued now are at much
lower interest rates. Unless rates drop dramatically, it's hard to picture
a rapid prepayment rate for the newer bonds.
Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET?
A. Most likely more volatility in the short term. And as we've already
started to see, probably more modest returns than last year. That said, I'm
optimistic for a couple of reasons. For one thing, higher federal taxes
could increase demand for municipal bonds. At the same time, supply is
expected to taper off, since many of the refinancings that could legally
take place already have. Increased demand and decreased supply should bode
well for municipal bonds.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR PLAN FOR DEALING WITH A MORE VOLATILE MARKET?
A. I've started to use futures contracts to help hedge the fund against the
market's gyrations. The fund holds mainly longer-term issues because they
provide higher yields. But these bonds are inherently more volatile than
shorter-term bonds. Since my view is that long-term bonds could rally later
in the year, to me it doesn't make sense to sell them now after their
recent price drop. Instead, I'm trying to guard against any short-lived
decline in long-term bond prices by selling interest rate futures
contracts. When long-term bond prices decline, the futures contracts
appreciate. If I see signs that prices are rising, I should be able to sell
these futures positions fairly quickly. This strategy gives me the ability
to keep the fund's basic structure in place for the long run, while helping
to protect it in the short run.
FUND FACTS
GOAL: to provide a high level
of current income exempt

NORM LIND'S INTEREST RATE
OUTLOOK:
"Over the next several
months, I think interest rates
will probably stabilize. Inflation
appears to be in check, and
the Federal Reserve recently
underscored its intention to
fight inflation by raising
short-term interest rates. The
economy still isn't showing the
kind of sustainable robust
pickup you'd normally expect
at this stage of a recovery.
U.S. job growth is relatively
slow, and there's been no
significant improvement in the
world economy that could help
ignite a stronger domestic
recovery."
(bullet) On February 28, about 23%
of the fund was in electric
utility bonds. Supply was
heavy as issuers refinanced
older bonds. Increased supply
translated into inexpensive
prices. With the rate of
refinancings slowing and no
future plans for major
construction projects, the
bonds could rise in value as
supply becomes scarce.
(bullet) Transportation bonds -
the fund's second largest
industry concentration -
grew to 13.8% at the end of
the period. Many of the bonds
added in this period were New
York state-appropriated
transportation bonds. They
were attractive in part because
a heavy supply of New York
bonds made their prices
relatively cheap.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended February 28, 1994 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Municipal Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days are valued either at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available through the
pricing service are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
futures and options transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales,
futures and options, and excise tax regulations. The fund also utilized
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as
a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent
book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will
result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 180 days are subject to
a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The
fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid
in capital.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective September
1, 1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of August 31, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $737,425 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $737,425.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The fund
identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value
at least equal to the amount of the purchase commitment.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures contracts and
write options. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
market risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent
of the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of instruments.
Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the
price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and
interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to
perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $246,887,602 and $325,255,479,
respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$370,705,185 and $345,953,407,
respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $11,670.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
No one wants to pay more taxes than they have to. But a recent survey of
500 U.S. households, conducted by Fidelity and Yankelovich Partners, showed
that few people took steps to reduce their taxes under the new tax laws
that went into effect last year. In fact, many people were not completely
aware of the changes until they filed their 1993 tax returns.
Whether or not you're someone whose tax bill increased as a result of these
changes, it may make sense to consider ways to keep more of what you earn.
First, if your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan,
consider enrolling. These plans are set up so you can make regular
contributions -
before taxes - to a retirement savings plan. They offer a disciplined
savings strategy, the ability to accumulate earnings tax-deferred, and
immediate tax savings. For example, if you earn $40,000 a year and
contribute 7% of your salary to your 401(k) plan, your annual contribution
is $2,800. That reduces your taxable income to $37,200 and, if you're in
the
28% tax bracket, saves you $784 in federal taxes. In addition, you pay no
taxes on any earnings until withdrawal.
It may be a good idea to contact your benefits office as soon as possible
to find out when you can enroll or increase your contribution. Most
employers allow employees to make changes only a few times each year.
Second, consider an IRA. Many people are eligible to make an IRA
contribution (up to $2,000) that is fully tax deductible. That includes
people who are not covered by company pension plans, or those within
certain income brackets. Even if you don't qualify for a fully deductible
contribution, any IRA earnings will grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Third, consider tax-free investments like municipal bonds and municipal
bond funds. Often these can provide higher after-tax yields than comparable
taxable investments. For example, if you're in the new 36% federal income
tax bracket and invest $10,000 in a taxable investment yielding 7%, you'll
pay $252 in federal taxes and receive $448 in income. That same $10,000
invested in a tax-free bond fund yielding 5.5% would allow you to keep $550
in income.
These are three investment strategies that could help lower your tax bill
in 1994. If you're interested in learning more, please call us at
1-800-544-8888 or visit a Fidelity Investor Center. We look forward to
talking with you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1994 PAST 6 LIFE OF
MONTHS FUND
Spartan Aggressive Municipal 2.12% 7.88%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 1.05% n/a
Average High Yield Municipal Bond Fund 1.60% n/a
Consumer Price Index 1.31% 1.88%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months or since the fund started on
April 29, 1993. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare
these figures to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
index - a broad gauge of the municipal bond market. To measure how the fund
stacked up against its peers, you can look at the average high yield
municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of 34 similar funds
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's performance to
the consumer price index helps show how your fund did compared to
inflation. (The periods covered by the CPI numbers are the closest
available match to those covered by the fund.)
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return
and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. In the fund's next report we'll report these
numbers for the fund and the benchmarks.

02/28/94 10776.71 10559.09
$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Aggressive Municipal Fund on April 30, 1993, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by February 28, 1994, the value of your
investment with dividends reinvested would have grown to $10,777 - a 7.77%
increase on your initial investment. This assumes you still owned the fund
on February 28, 1994 and therefore does not include the effect of the $5
account closeout fee. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested,
the same $10,000 would have grown to $10,559 - a 5.59% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

INCOME returns, capital gain returns, and changes in share price are all
part of a bond fund's total return. An income return reflects the dividends
paid by the fund. A capital gain return reflects the amount paid by the
fund to shareholders based on the profits it has from selling bonds that
have grown in value. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Changes in the fund's share price include changes in the prices
of the bonds owned by the fund. Change in share price and total return
figures include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $10.43 over
the past six months and $10.31 over the life of fund, you can compare the
fund's income over these two periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also
helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're in the 36% tax
bracket.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Anne Punzak, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Aggressive
Municipal Fund
Q. ANNE, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. For the six months ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a cumulative
total return of 2.12%. That beat the average high-yield municipal bond
fund's return of 1.60% for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical
Services.
Q. WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE?
A. A couple factors. First, for most of the period, having a
longer-than-average duration - about 7.9 years - worked in the fund's
favor. Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity. That means as
interest rates dropped, the prices of bonds in the fund rose more than if
the duration had been shorter. I kept the fund's duration long because I
expected slow economic growth and low inflation, which tend to keep
interest rates down. That's what happened for most of the period, until
February when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates. Once that
happened, the fund suffered a bit from having a longer duration. While I
don't think that interest rates will go much higher from here, I've started
to shorten the duration to help insulate the fund from market volatility.
Q. WHAT WAS THE SECOND FACTOR?
A. Many of the fund's health-care bonds did well. One example is the
Denver-based hospital group Health One. The group was created when two of
Denver's leading hospitals, PSL and Swedish Medical, merged. As a result of
the merger, the new entity was able to cut costs by eliminating redundant
services. What's more, the group has strong HMO relationships, which should
help the hospital survive, and even benefit, from health-care reform.
Q. WHAT WERE THE DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. The fund's 10.1% stake in California bonds didn't do as well as I
thought it would. A heavy supply of these bonds was issued, which somewhat
depressed prices. But I'm still optimistic about California because of some
recent signs of improvement in the state's economy. Retail sales have
picked up, and the unemployment rate appears to have hit bottom. I also
believe that over the short term the recent Los Angeles earthquake will be
a positive factor for the state's economy. After the San Francisco
earthquake, the state's economy got a boost from increased building
activity. I expect the same to occur this time around, too.
Q. WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU FOCUSED?
A. The fund's largest state concentration - at 10.2% of total investments -
is New York. Most of these bonds are state-appropriated, meaning they rely
on annual appropriations by the state legislature to meet all or part of
principal and interest payments. As the New York economy showed signs of
improvements, state-appropriated issues attracted more buyers, which pushed
up prices. On the fiscal front, the state is showing signs of improvement
and is expected to post a budget surplus for the second consecutive year.
What's more, these bonds could be upgraded in the next 12 months or so,
which should further help prices.
Q. YOU HAVE A FAIRLY LARGE STAKE - ABOUT 21% OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS - IN
NON-RATED BONDS. DO THESE BONDS CARRY MORE RISK THAN RATED BONDS?
A. Not necessarily. Just because the rating agencies haven't assigned a
rating doesn't mean they're low-rated or that there's more risk of their
not being able to meet their interest and principal payments. For example,
the issuer of a bond might be part of a sector or industry group that the
rating agencies don't follow. The issuer might have a substantial amount of
rated debt outstanding in the taxable market, and may not consider it
necessary to get a rating when coming to market with a small amount of
tax-exempt debt. Whatever the case, Fidelity's research staff closely
monitors these non-rated issues. Of the non-rated bonds in the fund at the
end of February, about one-fourth were considered to be investment grade or
better by Fidelity's analysts. The balance was below investment grade, but
were judged by our research team to have the potential for improved credit
quality. Bonds - both rated and non-rated - that are below investment-grade
quality are attractive because they offer both the potential for price
appreciation and relatively high yields. Of course there's no guarantee
their prices will appreciate more or their yields will be higher than
investment grade bonds.
Q. HOW DO YOU THINK HIGH-YIELD BONDS WILL DO IF INTEREST RATES RISE?
A. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to drop. But a bond's total
return is based on the change in its price - up or down - and the income it
generates. Since high-yield bonds offer potentially high income, they
probably won't be as negatively affected as bonds that pay lower yields.
What's more, a period of higher interest rates would most likely mean the
economy was speeding up. Improvements in the economy tend to improve the
credit quality of high yield bonds, which could be positive for their
prices. At any rate, despite the recent volatility in the bond market, I
don't see interest rates rising much.
Q. SO HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE MARKET'S RECENT REACTION?
A. I think that's there's some confusion about what the Federal Reserve's
moves to raise rates meant. To me, it meant that it intends to be quite
vigilant in keeping inflation down. But by mid-summer, I think that things
will calm down a bit, and the market will stabilize, trading in a more
narrow range than it has over the past year.
Q. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR
INVESTORS?
A. In my view, the bond market could be bumpy for the next few months, as
investors try to make sense out of conflicting economic indicators and
Federal Reserve policy. But once the market settles down, I think interest
rates won't rise or fall dramatically. What that probably means for
investors is more modest returns than we saw in 1993. Even so, I'm
optimistic that municipal bonds will continue to offer attractive returns
as new taxes cause demand to increase, while supply starts to dwindle.
Municipal bond issuance in 1994 is expected to be about half the 1993
level. Increased demand and decreased supply could be positive for
municipal bond prices.
FUND FACTS

ANNE PUNZAK'S INTEREST RATE
OUTLOOK:
"Even though the economy is
much healthier than it was a
year ago, inflation - which
when rising can also cause
interest rates to rise -
appears to be in check.
What's more, the Federal
Reserve has indicated that it
wants to remain vigilant in
keeping inflation low. If we do
have a low growth and low
inflation environment, that
would most likely be positive
for bonds."
(bullet) The fund's stake in
industrial revenue bonds was
cut to 17.3% on February 28,
from 22.2% six months ago.
That was due in part to a
pared back stake in airline
bonds, which were sold once
they'd reached relatively high
levels.
(bullet) On February 28, electric
revenue bonds were the
fund's third largest sector
concentration at 12.2%. They
are attractive because they
offer high yields. What's
more, they could become
scarce once most of the
refinancings to replace older,
more expensive debt, take
place. There is little need for
new electric plants in the
future, so there probably
won't be a lot of new electric
utility bonds issued. Those
factors will most likely
translate into scarcity, which
could help push prices up.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended February 28, 1994 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Aggressive Municipal Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days are valued either at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available through the
pricing service are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the fund
will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all
of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax
Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments
from wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed
to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid
deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax basis differences
relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to
paid in capital.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 180 days are subject to
a redemption fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The
fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid
in capital.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $28,883,262 and $3,934,048, respectively.
3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .60% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $355.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
No one wants to pay more taxes than they have to. But a recent survey of
500 U.S. households, conducted by Fidelity and Yankelovich Partners, showed
that few people took steps to reduce their taxes under the new tax laws
that went into effect last year. In fact, many people were not completely
aware of the changes until they filed their 1993 tax returns.
Whether or not you're someone whose tax bill increased as a result of these
changes, it may make sense to consider ways to keep more of what you earn.
First, if your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan,
consider enrolling. These plans are set up so you can make regular
contributions -
before taxes - to a retirement savings plan. They offer a disciplined
savings strategy, the ability to accumulate earnings tax-deferred, and
immediate tax savings. For example, if you earn $40,000 a year and
contribute 7% of your salary to your 401(k) plan, your annual contribution
is $2,800. That reduces your taxable income to $37,200 and, if you're in
the
28% tax bracket, saves you $784 in federal taxes. In addition, you pay no
taxes on any earnings until withdrawal.
It may be a good idea to contact your benefits office as soon as possible
to find out when you can enroll or increase your contribution. Most
employers allow employees to make changes only a few times each year.
Second, consider an IRA. Many people are eligible to make an IRA
contribution (up to $2,000) that is fully tax deductible. That includes
people who are not covered by company pension plans, or those within
certain income brackets. Even if you don't qualify for a fully deductible
contribution, any IRA earnings will grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Third, consider tax-free investments like municipal bonds and municipal
bond funds. Often these can provide higher after-tax yields than comparable
taxable investments. For example, if you're in the new 36% federal income
tax bracket and invest $10,000 in a taxable investment yielding 7%, you'll
pay $252 in federal taxes and receive $448 in income. That same $10,000
invested in a tax-free bond fund yielding 5.5% would allow you to keep $550
in income.
These are three investment strategies that could help lower your tax bill
in 1994. If you're interested in learning more, please call us at
1-800-544-8888 or visit a Fidelity Investor Center. We look forward to
talking with you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses, the fund's returns would have been lower.

Average Short Municipal Bond Fund 1.24% 3.31% 37.22% n/a
Consumer Price Index 1.31% 2.52% 20.64% 32.76%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since
the fund started on December 24, 1986. For example, if you invested $1,000
in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, you would end up with
$1,050. You can compare these figures to the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad measure of the municipal bond
market. To measure how the fund stacked up against its peers, you can look
at the average short municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of
37 similar municipal bond funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index helps show how
your fund did compared to inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the month
end following the fund's start.)

Average Short Municipal Bond Fund 3.31% 4.52% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.52% 3.82% 4.03%
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return
and show you what would have happened
if the fund had performed at a constant rate each year.
$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND
$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund on December 31, 1986, shortly after the
fund started. As the chart shows, by February 28, 1994, the value of your
investment would have grown to $14,675 - a 46.75% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still own the fund on February 28, 1994, and
therefore does not include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - which
includes longer term bonds - did over the same period. With dividends
reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $17,941 - a 79.41%
increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

INCOME returns, capital gain returns, and changes in share price are all
part of a bond fund's total return. An income return reflects the dividends
paid by the fund. A capital gain return reflects the amount paid by the
fund to shareholders based on the profits it has from selling bonds that
have grown in value. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Changes in the fund's share price include changes in the prices
of the bonds owned by the fund. Change in share price and total return
figures include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee on an average
size account.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $10.10 over
the past six months and $10.07 over the past year, you can compare the
fund's income over these two periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also
helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're in the 36% tax
bracket.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An Interview with David Murphy, Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund
Q. DAVID, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. For the six months ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total return
of 1.39%. That slightly edged out the average short municipal bond fund's
return of 1.24% for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical
Services.
Q. HOW DID YOU COME OUT AHEAD?
A. Having a longer-than-average duration - about 3.4 years at the end of
February - helped the fund when interest rates fell, as they generally did
during the last six months. Duration measures how much the fund's price
will vary with changes in interest rates. Typically, the longer the
duration, the more the fund's price will rise as interest rates fall. In
February, however, when the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest
rates by a quarter of a percentage point, having a long duration hurt the
fund.
Q. IN LIGHT OF THE FED'S MOVE, DID YOU CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY?
A. Since I'm somewhat concerned about interest rates rising over the short
term, I have recently started to shorten the fund's duration a bit. But I
haven't radically altered it, and the fund is still positioned to take
advantage of falling interest rates over the next few years. That's based
on my view that the Fed is very serious about being the inflation watchdog.
Low inflation is generally good for bonds. Historically, a pick-up in the
economy - like we saw in the fourth quarter of 1993 - means higher
inflation. But this time, I don't think that relationship will hold up.
Q. WHY NOT?
A. Because I think that inflation is low, lower than the market has
anticipated. We still haven't seen a broad-based increase in any of the
three basic components of higher inflation: commodity prices, labor costs
and the cost of borrowing money. While it's true that some commodity
prices, like gold, grains and copper, have risen, others, like oil,
haven't. Plus, some of the hike in agricultural prices can be attributed to
extraordinary factors like last year's flood and the recent cold weather.
Q. AND THE TWO OTHER INFLATIONARY
SIGNALS?
A. On the wage side, many U.S. companies now have the flexibility to move
their production overseas, where labor prices are often cheaper, and that
has kept pressure on domestic labor costs. Also, productivity has
increased, which means the actual cost of producing one unit of a given
good has come down. Finally, the cost of borrowing money or raising capital
is still low. In my view, these all add up to continued low inflation,
which could in turn lead to falling interest rates.
Q. SO HOW HAVE YOU STRUCTURED THE FUND?
A. I've concentrated a large amount of the fund - about 40% at the end of
February - in bonds with three- to five-year maturities. Up to five years,
the yield curve, or the difference in yield between bonds of different
maturities, is steep. Right now you get rewarded with 1.25% more yield for
buying bonds in the four-year range, for instance, than a bond in the
one-year range.
Q. WHAT STATES DID YOU FAVOR?
A. I've kept the fund's allocation among states about the same over the
past six months. At the end of February, one of the fund's largest state
concentrations was Texas, at 10.8%. I like Texas bonds because the economy
there is better than in most states, and so the bonds should do well.
Massachusetts was the fund's largest state concentration at 11.2%. Many of
these bonds are student loan bonds.
Q. WHY WERE STUDENT LOAN BONDS
ATTRACTIVE?
A. In late 1993, there was a flood of new student loan bonds issued due to
a change in reimbursement for loans made after October 1. So issuers had an
incentive to bring their deals to market quickly. That heavy supply pushed
prices down and made these bonds attractive. Going forward, the supply of
these bonds should dry up some, which could help their prices go higher.
Student loan bonds were included in the fund's largest industry
concentration, education bonds, which stood at 28.3% of investments on
February 28.
Q. WHAT OTHER SECTORS WERE ATTRACTIVE?
A. General obligation bonds (GOs), which are backed by the taxing power of
the issuer, were the fund's second largest sector concentration at 20.7%.
Economic recovery could translate into higher revenues for municipalities,
resulting from increased income and sales taxes. That, in turn, could help
the prices of GOs.
Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK INVESTORS CAN EXPECT FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. More volatility. The municipal bond market seems to be expecting the Fed
to raise short-term interest rates to 4%. Until that happens, the market
will probably remain unsettled. But eventually, I believe intermediate
municipal rates will start to fall again, and short-rates will remain
stable.
Q. HOW WILL THAT OUTLOOK AFFECT YOUR STRATEGY?
A. I'll probably keep the fund's duration somewhat long, but try to hedge
it against short-term volatility. Apart from interest rates, there are a
number of other factors that could help municipal bonds. Last year, the
total supply of municipals issued was about $290 billion. This year, it's
expected to be about half of that. A dwindling supply would be an
additional positive for municipal bond prices.

DAVID MURPHY ON SHORT-
INTERMEDIATE BONDS:
"I think that short-intermediate
bonds will once again be
attractive in 1994. The yield
curve, or the difference in
yield between bonds with
various maturities, is very
steep up to five years. A
five-year Aaa bond has a yield
of about 4.5%, compared to a
one-year bond which yields
about 3.0%. What's more,
some institutional investors
have started to increase their
investments in intermediate
bonds. That increased
demand could be an
additional positive for
intermediate municipal bond
prices."
(bullet) Education bonds were the
fund's largest sector at 28.3%
of the fund's investments at
the end of February. Of those,
26.7% were student loan
bonds and the balance were
university bonds. Student
loan bonds were attractive in
part because loan defaults
are reimbursed by the federal
government and the bonds
usually carry a high rating.
They also offer relatively high
yields.
(bullet) On February 28, the fund's
second largest sector at
20.7% of investments was
local and state general
obligation bonds (GOs),
which are backed by the
taxing power of the issuer.
The fund focused on GOs that
offered relatively high yields.

SEMIANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended February 28, 1994 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Union Street Trust and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days are valued either at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available through the
pricing service are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
futures transactions. The fund also utilized earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as a part of the
dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax
basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in
reclassifications to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The fund
identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures contracts and
write options. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
market risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent
of the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of instruments.
Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the
price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and
interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to
perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other
than short-term securities, aggregated $475,832,000 and $195,019,000,
respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$32,153,000 and $32,170,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $15,000.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, FMR or
the fund's distributor, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR, may use their resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
fund's shares or render shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has
informed the fund that no payments were made to third parties under the
Plan for the period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balance during the period for which
the loan was outstanding amounted to $6,800,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 3.63%.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
Efective January 10, 1994, FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund's
operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and
extraordinary expenses) above an annual rate of .40% of average net assets.
For the period, the reimbursement reduced the fund's expenses by $251,000
or .05% of average net assets under this arrangement.
