In the end I know this is going to draw crowds from both sides of the lines. You'll have the "proud to work and have a job" type of people and the "we deserve better". Myself, I'll clearly stand on the we deserve better platform.
It used to be that we worked as EMT's thinking that a least we'd always have a job, thinking that if we get fired or decide to quit or our company goes under, that we'll easily pick up somewhere else. In the end, it's all the same, every company, all they pay, all the "respect", all the drama and the fraud.
We work in a field that a lot of people believe we get paid big money for, and we laugh at that. Its a sad sight that some of us here probably make just as much as anyone in a fast food joint or whatever.
Myself , I work with an IFT company that has grown fast. I started there at 4 rigs an have expanded to thirty in a little under 2 years. You would think a little seniority, a little loyalty, a little actually doing your job the way it's supposed to be done will get you somewhere. No. In fact it's gotten me to less pay then what I was promised, cut hours (and don't feed me this bad economy story, Medicare pays what it pays and it's not dimes and nickels), and all the same BS well all have stories to say about.
In the end, though many of your will disagree and simply say "get a better job" "quit" an all that non supportive stuff you get all the time, we all deserve better than where we are at. Better pay, better job security, actual respect.
This is all for all my LA county, Orange Co, even Riverside Co. We're better than what we are being paid for. Let's not longer just accept what we are given, because we are better than that. We make the company money, we have some control than what were led to believe but we have to stick together. It's not one man vs all. Without us, the company falls. Maybe it'll be another Russian or Armenian making another IFT, Doing the same bs, but we can make our voices heard.
Some say union, some say strike, whatever. Whatever it takes for us to get what we deserve, I think we should do it.
Now let the crap roll out...
