AMR Group Interview

TRSpeed said:
On a union page of ours we have all wages for all NEMSA shops in California and we are close to the bottom on the totem pole. Thing is all those other divisions combines as one and had over 2500 employees so that is a huge backbone. We will see what happens. Just like Rancho with their steel worker union negotiations going on aswell.

From the progress we have made so far it has been great. Looks like attendance and other write ups will be separate from now on.

The northern California AMR core voted out Nemsa. They are uemsw/afscmee now. Starting pay for an ALS EMT in the Bay Area is about 18 bucks an hour with a big night shift differential.
 
HOLY NECRO THREAD, Batman!

Ya but when they were NEMSA the bay area and other CORE shops the EMTs were starting from 16.50-18.82 which is not too shabby.

I've heard that the bay areas also have a fairly high cost of living? Could be wrong tho, just going off what friends have told me.

Really high but there are plenty affordable cities outside of SF. San Jose is probably equivalent to San Diego in terms of cost but with better paying jobs.

All my old co workers that came from So Cal couldn't believe how much more money they were making. Similar to how i can't believe medics make less than 20 bucks an hour I'm so cal with the cost of living down there. Alameda county medics start at 23/30 per hour on a day/night car and top out at 42ish.

Not enough for me to leave SoCal. I'm staying with the crappy protocols and horrible pay because I have way to much down here to leave.

We are at $10.21 per hour with daily overtime and double time on anything over 12 hours in one day. All major holidays are double time. And we often get incentives to work shifts (time and a half for the first 8 hours then double time for the next 4. Double time for the whole shift. Pick a partner and a time. Etc)

If I don't pick up any overtime then both of our paychecks are the same amount. We are structured differently due to the fact we are non-union and don't plan on going union anytime soon. (Last vote for union was around 4 years ago with +90% of employees saying no union).

Honestly i am not a union fan but it is how it is. And yes we actually make the same. Medics get DT everyday. EMTs get OT, very rare when their is a DT page for EMTs.
 
Do all AMR divisions here in SoCal have power gurneys and epcrs?

As far as San Bernardino and riverside counties yes to the most part. Most if not all ALS/911 ambulances have the power gurneys. BLS depends on the division. Some reserve ALS rigs do not have the power gurneys.
 
Well I went to the "group" interview.

They ended up hiring all 26 of us that showed up LOL.
 
It was pretty funny I was sitting there with like 3 other guys because we got there early and then bam the heard of EMT's and Medics swarmed in.
