The Emergency Medical Service is in crisis. We can’t wait for an end to critical ambulance shortages and poor working conditions for the people who deliver paramedicine.
Workers in Emergency Medical Services perform life-saving work. The role of dispatchers and paramedics is critical in responding to 911 calls and ensuring people in crisis receive the medical attention they need.
The EMS sector is under-resourced and underfunded. For too long, our life-saving work has been taken for granted by employers and governments.
We can’t continue with the status quo. CUPE calls on provincial and municipal governments to take immediate action to address the longstanding crisis in the EMS sector.
