Fed up with stalled contract talks, a renegade group of EMS workers is calling for an unauthorized strike on New Year's Eve, the Daily News has learned.
The potentially life-threatening job action has infuriated the leadership of the Uniformed EMTs and Paramedics Union - and union President Patrick Bahnken has warned his 2,600 members not to betray New Yorkers' trust.
"When trains and buses do not run, people are inconvenienced. When ambulances don't run, people die!" Bahnken wrote in the scathing letter obtained by The News.
The rebel group distributed flyers demanding an illegal strike or sickout on New Year's Eve after contract talks between the union and city ended Monday without an agreement.
偶们这里医院还罢过工呢。这是劳资双方的矛盾激化的结果,在外人看来都不可思议了,你这是救死扶伤的地方,不开门。病人怎么办。当事人就觉得这是他的权力,他觉得他有为自己能过上更好生活的权利。一般的美国人是不谈无私奉献的。
