“Unions have protected EMTs in the field by helping them fight for raises as well as health care they can afford. By reducing the pay gaps between 911 and interfacility transfers, unions have bettered the lives of EMS workers that perform life or death medical procedures. They advocate for emergency responders that are assaulted/injured on the job as well as work for fairly compensated overtime.
It is essential to truly understand how unions can impact the lives of laborers as they offer a safer and healthier work environment as well as fair treatment.”
