AND YOU ARE ONLY 24 y/o, right!? You must be Doogie Howser. You have it more figured out than the NHTSA, the DOT, the DOH, the AAP, the AAEM, NREMT, the AHA, all local EMS agencies, medical dierctors, medical consultants, Fire Departments, assemblymen, supervisors, researchers etc.? Get the F...

So go post on OMMlife.com and don't condescend to a thread that is so beneath you. JPINV is just too arrogant not to be made fun of.

I got your point. And its still pretty lame when you re-explained it. Stop trying to convince yourself and everyone else that you are so much better than any EMT out there because you're not. When you graduate with your degree in OM/reiki massage, you will still not be a better person than any...

i'm sure that UNITE, AFL-CIO, SEIU, IAFF, the IBT, and even SAG in Hollywood and on Broadway would agree with you.

this is the kind of s**t someone who has never actually worked hard says. baseless and juvenile. JPINV you'll make an awesome manager someday. results like more revenue by layoffs and cut benefits? out dated equipment and supplies to save on overhead? paying minimum wage to increase...

Bulls**t on all of that. If EMS workers don't like the closed shop policies they can go to a company with no union. But they probably wouldn't want to do that because those companies don't pay nearly as well, and don't have health insurance benefits as companies w UNION NEGOTIATED CBA'S. As...

vent, unions are employees. they are the same thing. maybe you have had bad experiences with unions in the past, or maybe you have a fundamental misunderstanding about what unions really are. either way - and to borrow the main point that you are championing - EDUCATE yourself about them...

Yep, I'm a big boy who understands the reality that as long as there is a system in place where some people make money off of the debilitating health issues of others, there will be serious problems in every level of care provided. Period. I have never been late to work. That means signing in...

I have never dealt with Torren at all, and I know of the allegations. HOWEVER, as I stated way, way back in this thread, the CONCEPT OF UNIONISM IS A GOOD ONE, and in my opinion the CONCEPT OF AN ALL EMS UNION IS SOUND ALSO. My steward has helped a really, really good medic I work with get two...

Still ridiculous Lifeguard, this isn't even a response/argument. Ventmedic, did you even read any of my other posts? I specifically wrote that I understand that an EMT can progress to Medic. That is common knowledge. The argument here is about seniority based raises vs. "education" based...

Recap People who have been responding to this thread seem altogether humorless and cold. The HIV thing was a joke, completely lost on these posters. The fact that not one of you posters showed any concern or understanding for the 20 y/o, in your posts, or your replies to mine, shows that...

Sure, I get that. But three hours after she rolled her car and lost her hand?! Are you kidding me?! Give me any reason that she shouldn't have been given a bed at SFGH or even Kaiser SF. I guarantee that if you were that girl, the last place on earth you would want to be is in a car on the...

And again Ventmedic, you missed the point entirely. A transport SFGH to Kaiser south city doesn't inconvenience me in the least; rather it inconveniences the girl who was JUST IN AN MVC ON THE HIGHWAY! Kaiser decides that they want their patient back so that all interventions and surgeries...

Not only would I rather have an SFFD medic work on me when I was going into arrest than someone with a EMC degree from Loma Linda, I would rather have a drink with them too. Do you understand the humor in the fact that you are attending a christian school while quoting that you are going to take...

You and your education again. The union will stand for anyone regardless of education level, and at any point in their educational careers. You seem to think that a guy with a diploma should be treated like a prince. At what point do we begin to treat him like that? I know of at least two ER...

This is more naivete and hair-splitting. What kind of hours you get is determined by your CBA and your company. My CBA states that I can work 10's, 12's, or 24s. My union GOT me that choice. If you are looking to work the bare minimum - as you stated above - why not work for Protrans? A slacker...
