EMS workers to picket

Cleveland's rescue squad personnel plan to picket in front of City Hall Monday in response to a change in their work days from 12-hour shifts to eight-hour shifts.
Members of the Cleveland Association of Rescue Employees union voted unanimously Friday to announce that they have "no confidence" in EMS Commissioner Ed Eckart, who pushed for the change.
Union president Robert Laux said the switch will result in a 5 percent reduction in wages, an average of $2,500 a year per worker. The cut puts EMS workers' salaries $5,000 below those of the city's firefighters and police officers, he said, "when there should be parity."
