The title of this video should be "BC Ambulance DESERVES wage parity"

@Defuf ---it takes about 5 months. The $2.00 an hour is for carrying the pager. When on a callout they get a regular wage and once they are clear of the call they go back to $2.00 an hour simply for carrying a pager. Our paramedics want more then a decent wage, they want new vehicles as our cars our getting outdated and they want better working conditions, etc.

Same here in Austria. Medics get paid way less then fire and pd.

So did it work out for them?

Whats the Difference between The First responder & health care workers isn't it the same thing for a paramedic. Is it true It takes 4 months to become a paramedic In BC ? And No way 2$ an Hour how much do they reallty get paid lets just say someone just starts out on the job whats the salery like ?

Those firefighters who carry pagers are paid on call or volunteer. They do it more for their community than for money, and they already have an actual career with a real salary. Paramedics who get paid $2/hour, well, that's their primary job. In BC, you need to work 5-6 years with a pager before you get hired full-time. It's the only way. And $18/hour to save lives? C'mon. Lifeguards make more. It takes less than 2 weeks of training to become a lifeguard.

firefighters get zero bucks an hour to carry a bleeper. Paramedics aren't actually "working" for $2 an hour you donuts. They get paid that for just carrying the bleeper. $16-$30 an hour is what they get paid when actually at work.

Its about time BCAS Hit youtube with some Strike Videos... I hope to see some bigger and harder job action in the future. I say you cut off all non-essential calls to the rich areas. Find out where those politicians live and stop servicing them.
