"Ambulance drivers" union negotiations.

Word on the street is that negotiations are going well...
 
Nice. I haven't heard anything about it yet. Ill have to send some text messages out and see what's up.
 
Negotiations have finished for the Rancho/Redlands divisions. They came to an agreement last Thursday. Now they have to send the contract to the International to get the final approval.

Really? I got to text my buddy. You know what wages they came up with
 
Yes, I'm not too sure what the wages are are exactly, but I know it's not what everyone was hoping for. We will probably be comparable to the Riverside division give or take a few dollars. The contract still needs to be voted on by the employees, so it may not pass. We should be voting on it in the coming week or so.

Riverside division pay is already pretty much standard. I believe it's $12.33 per hour with OT after 40 hours a week and more than 12 hours in one day.
 
Ya I believe our division starts medics off around $14 an hour, with time and a half after 8 hours and double time after 12 hours. These were pre-union wages, so from what I understand that pay will be a little higher if the contract gets passed.
 
Dang,

6% raises a year and now only 5%?

5% is a good raise every year, when a lot were getting laid off y'all were getting raises.

How much of that was COLA and how much was Merit? COLA is normally 3%.
 
I bet the union dues will also go up and take a significant portion of that raise. Unions are a business.

We get a COLA raise and then 6 months later a merit raise. That's one of the beautiful things about working for a very big and very stable company.

I just have a hard time seeing the side of the personnel or even the need for a Union when you are getting such good and regular raises.

We are not a union, and will never be a union.

This. We voted on going to a union 3-4 years ago. 97% of employees said no.

We have amazing management, standard pay with raises, decent equipment. There is no reason for us to go union. I mean heck in the 2 years I have been there the only people we have fired got DUIs.

With that is such huge BS. I NEVER got my raise and we were union. They said because I did was hired in a certain month. And now we don't have a union just a mess and fights about who is going to take over now.
