Another great @AMOPolicy tradeshow. While there's a lot of paramedic data that isn't tracked provincially & plenty that isn't easily accessed by the public, we took the opportunity to remind our visitors of data that is: 📈.#responsetimes #performanceplans

With adequate funding, resources, and a real commitment to staffing, Ontario's paramedics could be there more quickly in your time of need. We want that reality as much as anyone ❤️. #FundIt #StaffIt #KeepHealthCarePublic ‼️.

Many @OPSEU @SEFPO represented ACOs are in the OPS UN bargaining unit. @AmandaUsher83, CERC Chair & ACO, addresses the crowd re: the @OntarioPCCaucus unconstitutionally interfering in, what's supposed to be, free and fair Collective Bargaining. (Video courtesy of @Pfrysmith ✊)

"The simplest solution to the level of service issue on Wolfe Island would be to appropriately fund the paramedic service on the island.".- @shaunadunn, @opseu462 President.👆💯✅. #ygk @OPSEU @SEFPO.
Could letting firefighters drive hospital patients cut down on wait times?

Glad that significant detail is resolved. Now for BUs to negotiate the NRA 60 option!. "OMERS contacted CUPE and OPSEU/SEFPO to inform the unions that it would amend the formula that had penalized some paramedics transitioning to an earlier retirement.".

"Employers need to consider several factors when selecting the appropriate PPE for workers exposed to the elements:. Light/breathable uniforms". - Paramedic Services Section 21 Guidance Note 15: Weather Hazards 🚨 Functionality trumps presentation 🚨.
Did you know Ontario's OHSA doesn't include a temp limit for heat stress? And that by the 2050s, we'll have 5-10x more heat waves?. We’re past the point of calling every worker killed by the climate crisis a “wake up call”. We need action now. Sign here:

Us too @AndrewCP24. We're certain @DaveSmithPtbo's constituents could ask for more as well. Improved ambulance response times, shorter hospital wait times, community mental health supports, fair wages, affordable housing, food availability. But hey, have a 🌭 #onpoli #ptbo
