At @CUPEOntario we know through our @CACOParamedics work that what is happening in @cupe911 - the huge shortage of skilled caring professionals in vital emergency services is in no small part due to underfunding - and is happening in communities across #onpoli
I have called on the province for immediate support after Niagara EMS workers warned of ambulance delays due to staffing shortages. It's the workers on the front lines that have the solutions to these problems, & they're not being listened to by this govt. niagaraatlarge.com/2024/03/19/nia…
"Niagara EMS workers from CUPE 911 are raising an alarm loud and clear that ambulance wait times and code zeroes are happening far too often – and we will continue to see them happen if nothing changes" @JeffBurch_ notllocal.com/local-news/mpp… @cupe911 @CUPEOntario @CUPEOntarioMuni
Ambulance offload delays have become all too common in Doug Ford’s Ontario and happen when EMS providers are forced to wait with a patient to receive care due to staffing shortages at the hospital. 101morefm.ca/news/local-new…
Grateful for the incredible support shown to CUPE911 paramedics, dispatchers, and occupational therapists at our solidarity event. Our members want to see our ambulances and dispatch centers fully staffed, ready to serve the members of the community! #ResourcesRetentionRespect

Low morale: diminished enthusiasm, motivation, and satisfaction, often due to challenging conditions, lack of recognition, or poor leadership in a workplace.

It is with profound sadness we mourn the loss of one of our own. She was an extraordinary paramedic who cared for her community for the last 24 years. You will be missed. We'll take it from here. ❤️🚑 @NiagaraEMS @NiagaraMedics
We are deeply saddened by the recent loss of Adam Thompson, a cherished CUPE 905 and former @RDParamedics Paramedic. A memorial fund has been set up to honour his memory and support his family during this difficult time. Please consider making a donation. gofundme.com/f/in-loving-me…

🚑 Losing excellent EMS personnel due to poor retention hits hard! 🚑 The aftermath: 📉Skill drain 📉Demoralized teams 📉Overburdened staff 📉Costly recruitments 📉Customer relations at risk 📉Reputation damage 📉Innovation stagnation.
"Bill 124 takes away the incentive to work in the health care," says Rose, an ER clerk. Despite a worsening staffing crisis in our public hospitals, @fordnation wants to reinstate #Bill124 through the court of appeal after it was ruled unconstitutional in Nov. 2022.
gofundme.com/f/4ffp5b-hanna… Hannah is a CUPE911 Niagara Region paramedic, who has worked tirelessly to serve the members of the Niagara Region. 🚑🚒
Addressing recruitment issues & ignoring retention, is telling, in that we don’t care enough about our actual paramedics. It’s about filling numbers, not about correcting a troubling, downward spiralling industry. Every paramedic is accumulating trauma daily. They need real help
More students will help but our staffing crisis is caused by growing call volumes, paramedics leaving the profession, and a lack of mental health supports. Invest in retention strategies, prioritize mental health and improve our work conditions @fordnation news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…
Last night saw a significant period of #CodeBlack, with multiple emergent calls delayed. @EssexWindsorEMS were down-staffed ambulances (off the road with no one to fill). This is NOT simply a hospital issue. Multiple @CK_EMS ambulances had to respond, depleting our neighbours.
Our offices have heard loud & clear from folks across Niagara that they don’t want service hours reduced at Urgent Care Centres. The Minister needs to stop deflecting & take appropriate action to ensure residents have timely access to care starting with repealing Bill 124 & 60.
@CUPEOntario @CupeMedics2974 @CACOMedic Very well deserved Ian. Thank you for contributions over the years and being a forerunner to the Section 21 committee.
@CACOMedic Well deserved! Congratulations!
Congratulations to Ian Nash from @CupeMedics2974 for winning the 2023 Health & Safety award! After years of advocacy by Ian, other CUPE members & our labour allies, the Ontario government finally created a long overdue H&S committee for paramedics in Feb. 2023. #CUPEON23
