Barry;

Amarillo Medical Services is a 911 service provider for Amarillo. It is the

only provider in the city and has been there for approximately 10 plus years.

I think it is disgraceful what they are doing. A person can work for

Mcs for the same rate of pay ($6.50), not have the responsibility, and not

have

to go to school to achieve this. Since the change from county hospital to

private hospital everyone knew something was going to happen to EMS but I don't

think this was ever seen.

I too agree that NWTH has made a " HUGH " mistake. It's a slap in the face to

every Paramedic in this State. I think some companies think only of the

bottom line and forget about the real people involved. I wonder if they

could raise a family on $6.00 an hour?

Absolutely frapping disgraceful. Are they gonna ask the cops to carry a stun

gun only? Is the FD going to only carry portable extinguishers?

If they don't all haul ass as a group, then they get what's coming to them.

Surely, there are other $6.50 an hour jobs in Amarillo, huh? I don't know

about Amarillo, but there isn't a glut of Paramedics around here. This is

the time to band together guys.

OK I agree that there are not very many good unions in Texas but you do have

the Pilots Union for AA and Southwest Airlines, the Flight Attendants union

for AA, the mechanics union, the baggage handlers union...

I do not like the UAW, especially when the person that sweeps the floor at

the plant can make more than the Engineers that design the car.

Texas is a right to work state which also means that it is a right to not

work state. The nursing shortage in this state has increased the salaries

for RNs. With cities like Austin paying good salaries for good medics,

Grand Prairie looking for Medics that are interested in becoming fire

fighters, many organizations around Houston that have volunteer firefighters

and pay well for part time medics, the number of medics that are converting

to RNs, there is going to be a change.

This is one of the problems in Texas. Too many EMS personnel do not care

about the others as long as they are ok.

Even the cashiers at Wal-Mart will make more money.

I guess I could be a problem because I volunteer but I love doing this but

can not live on the wages. I volunteer at a department that is paid and I

am not taking any position but I do help with relief especially after a hard

fire.

Hey Louis this sounds like it is between you and me now. This sounds like

something we can discuss at EMStock.
