With the news that Transcare is now ceasing ALL Hudson Valley operations (READ MORE HERE), I'm sitting here, racking my brain, about how to help Transcare employees feed their families. Obviously, they've lost their jobs, and I hope they'll get picked up by other companies, but, in the meantime, many haven't been paid for the past couple of weeks. In addition, all are losing seniority and the pay grades that come with it, as well as health benefits in the interim.
 
I'd like to help in any way, but for something where the effect is so massive, where do you start to help? Food, healthcare, the basics? These are immediate needs. In the long term, hopefully Lynn Tilton is prosecuted for this, and a civil suit earns Transcare employees are awarded at least something, but that would be several years away.
 
Anyone with any ideas about where help can be made to, resources that can be used, or any help with publicity with how to help, please contribute them to this thread and/or email me at seth@emtbravo.com ....I'd like to use the power of this site and any connections I may have to at least help something get started.
 
 

Given Armonk is a relatively slow system, how experienced are WEMS EMT's as opposed to EMT's of Transcare and Empress? How was WEMS picked for this, and how does Armonk compensate them?
Does Armonk have a say in which WEMS EMT's will be assigned there?
