Paramedics call for same bargaining rights as police and fire
KAMLOOPS — They may play a large part in saving lives, but B.C paramedics say they aren’t being recognized when it comes to collective bargaining agreements.
As it stands, paramedic unions fall under the same Health Authorities Act as hospital staff, including janitors and cafeteria workers.
Keri Hardy and Daniel Bott are one of 800 canvassers in B.C calling for paramedics to switch to the Fire and Police Services Collective Bargaining Act.
