    This is why many ambulance workers are fed up with NEMSA. These guys are already making more money than any other medics at AMR!! NEMSA is bad for our industry. How many times can they threaten pickets before we lose our contracts and our jobs!! This is not good for our public image. I don't want to be portrayed as a spoluied paramedic who makes over 100k a year and then complains about not getting more as firefighters and state workers struggle for work.

    NEMSA needs to smarten up!!!!!!

      Talk about being intentionally misleading, John Gage...  It's almost like you are a manager for AMR....  but I digress...

      The picketing was about AMR violating the law, not negotiating according to the terms of the law.  AMR regularly violates the National Labor Relations Act, a law designed to protect workers from the illegal actions of their employers.  Under the law, NEMSA members had a right to informationally picket and let the public know how AMR was violating the law.

      The law gives AMR employees rights... AMR tends to try to violate those rights on a fairly regular basis.  You see, being fair to employees must be bad for their business..

      People in San Mateo make plenty of money.... what they want is fair treatment from an employer that is profit centered, profit focused, profit inspired...

      You should quit drinking the AMR Kool Aid and see the big picture....
