Paramedics Rally - May 23, 2008
In 2005 the federal government designated paramedics as a public safety occupation, giving them the same status as police and firefighters. Here, Paramedics are rallying for fairness in wages and the ability to retire at age 65.
Last fall every union in Ontario that represents paramedics asked the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and its representatives on the OMERS Board to reduce a paramedic’s retirement age to 60 with full pension.
