LUNCHTIME RALLY
TUESDAY 4 AUGUST
1pm Trades Hall, Cnr Lygon & Victoria Sts
Marching to the Premier’s Office, Spring Street.
Victorian Ambulance workers in dispute
They are fighting to improve their conditions.
They are fighting to save the ambulance service.
The problems: long delays in emergencies, dangerous paramedic fatigue and intensive care MICA service in meltdown.
Victorian ambos are campaigning for a better, safer ambulance service for you and your community.
The union has surveyed nearly 20 percent of Victorian ambos and found that 75% have made mistakes because of extreme fatigue. They’re averaging just 6 hours sleep each night and often less than that. We must fix this, or even more experienced ambos will leave the job. That will mean waiting even longer in emergencies. We want Ambulance Victoria to provide a first class service to all Victorians.
That’s why we urgently need to resolve our enterprise bargaining negotiations.
A key demand is for 10 hour rest-breaks between shifts.
That will allow us to rest properly between shifts, which are often more than 14 hours long.
