And you say that it wont happen, they wont strike, because they are good, self sacrificing people who put themselves out there. And that's what the Ambulance dept hold over them. They know they wont strike because its not fair on the people who need their help because they are (quite literally sometimes) innocent bystanders, who didnt ask to be in a car accident, didnt ask to get burned in a fire, etc.

And what if the majority of emergency workers cant "stand the heat" get out and only the ones who can do stay? Current staffing levels are too low. What are you going to do when your bleeding out after a car accident with no way to treat it yourself because your pinned? Beat you wish the AC got turned on in the kitchen awhile ago huh?
That is what many people do not realise is already happening, we constantly have shift not staffed, stations closed and massive hole in coverage of the community due to staff shortages. But the government won't tell you that.
