As the city slips into the dog days of summer, up on the 15th floor of an unremarkable Cortlandt Street office building, the Mayor's Office of Labor Relations
As the city slips into the dog days of summer, up on the 15th floor of an unremarkable Cortlandt Street office building, the Mayor’s Office of Labor Relations is busy negotiating with unions representing New York City’s EMS workers.
And while this is just daily reality in EMS, extraordinary times only magnify the role of paramedics and EMTs. Time and time again, tragedies have laid bare how necessary they are, and how much they are willing to sacrifice. Our paramedics and EMTs deserve more than applause. They deserve equal recognition and real pay parity that acknowledges the depth of their sacrifice, and their contributions to New York. It’s time to get them what they’re owed.
When a New Yorker in distress dials 911, the operator asks: “Do you need police, fire, or medical?” all within the same breath. Yet when payday comes, EMS workers are treated very differently than their NYPD and FDNY counterparts.
