Upstate NY Commercial EMS won fair wages

[ems-buff 81]

This has to be the first time in NYS where an EMS union has striked, won fair wages, and didnt loose any contracts (as of yet) I know there are alot of Pro EMS Union Members here on the boards, I'm just looking to see other members reactions. Congrats to the members of Teamsters Local 375 of rural/metro EMS for fighting for what they wanted.
