Enough is enough!

Hi there, fellow ambo's.

How many times can we be shafted? Ripped off pay wise, ripped off workload wise, under-staffed, over-worked, treated like shit in general by management, not looked after by the State Government, not to mention a piss-weak union.

A few of us have put together this site to allow real ambos to have their say, unfiltered by bosses, governments or union reps. You can have your say, too, in the comments. Join in; we really want to hear from you (even if you disagree with what we say). You can also contact us at realambo.gmail.com.

Anyway if you read it again I wasn't having a go at you Spider I was quoting the previous dickhead who was calling us all a bunch of fuckwits.

is 1.4% for the P1 upgrade?

Anonymous said...

No the 1.4% is when the 2.5% THE STATE GOVERNMENT gave to all state employees last June 08.but many like police,firies,teachers,disputted this and got more.Willaims said we will accept the 2.5% and we could go back after the MIC was finished and ask for more.HSU got more for us,but will give it to us this june 09 to make it look like they got us more.The state government wont give more this year because of the credit crunch !!!.This is all because they dont want to back date the 1.4% to June 08.

Its so good to see the Svc is so concerned about Fatigue,now we work 12 hr days,but finish 1 to 2 hrs after shift.Which means instead of makeing 3 to 4 hrs overtime,we can only make 1 to 2hrs overtime,and still only get $23 dollars for our trouble of not having no lunch.
They now work us the whole 12hrs without a break,because they dont have to pay meals and call offs.This is a big saving for the svc and the government.All they are out of pocket for now is a lousy $23 dollars,and maybe 1 to 2 hrs overtime.
Good on you HSU.
what the sick leave rise now,how much is it going to cost the Svc when cars are damaged because of fatigue,lives are at risk,,they dont care unless they are saving money.watch out bushies they are after you next.

12 hour roster in Sydney are fucked. If you commence a break and it gets interrupted you lose the remainder of your break. I.e. there is no resume time. So if u get one minute of lunch then get a job you lose the 29 mins and co ord are free to put you on whatever rubbish R3,4,5,6,7,8 job they feel like using the ass covering phrase “per the doco.” Yeah we get our $11 penalty per missed/interrupted break.

Ambulance chief avoids sackingLouise Hall
May 6, 2009 .
THE controversial head of the NSW Ambulance Service will not be sacked despite a damning parliamentary inquiry that found he had presided over a decade-long failure to deal with bullying and harassment within the organisation that led to at least nine suicides.

The Minister for Health, John Della Bosca, said the tenure of the ambulance chief executive, Greg Rochfort, had been reviewed in January three months after an upper house committee called for an urgent investigation into his performance.

In announcing the Government's response to the 45 recommendations made in the report, Mr Della Bosca said yesterday he was committed to a statewide "culture change and improvement program" to end endemic bullying in the service.

However he refused to take direct responsibility for the service or the performance of its chief executive.

Mr Rochfort, whose resignation has been called for repeatedly by the Health Services Union, will keep his job, although a committee of long-time current and retired NSW public servants will be appointed to oversee his efforts to resolve disputes and address workplace behaviour. And Mr Rochfort will continue to be responsible for the management of senior ambulance executives, despite the report finding they were a "nepotistic old boys' club" who swept claims of bullying and harassment under the carpet for 10 years.

Phil Roxburgh, whose revelations about bullying at the Cowra ambulance station sparked the inquiry, said Mr Rochfort and other senior executives should have been removed.

"To find out these people are still in the same positions, offering no more than lip service [to anti-bullying policies] is very disheartening and disappointing," said Mr Roxburgh, who is now manager of the Moruya ambulance station. "I do not want to see our only chance for a change in culture blown."

A paramedic, Christine Hodder, the first woman to work at the Cowra ambulance station, took her life in April 2005 after years of bullying.

Mr Roxburgh, her former manager at Cowra, went on stress leave after he was harassed for supporting her.

Mr Della Bosca said many of the recommendations from the inquiry were already being dealt with by the Government including the appointment of an extra two investigation staff to ensure serious matters were dealt with rapidly, a "healthy workplace manager" to deal with grievances and a compulsory "respectful workplace training" program for all staff.

"Change on this scale will always create workplace tensions and it's a credit to the workforce that the healthy workplace initiatives are being embraced," he said.

The committee chairwoman, Robyn Parker, a Liberal member of the Legislative Council, said some issues raised in the six-month-long inquiry, such as wages and conditions, had since been resolved following a hearing in the NSW Industrial Relations Commission.

However, the Government had not explicitly accepted the majority of recommendations in its response but used "weasel words" to claim issues were already being addressed, without any evidence of change.

Ms Parker said she had been getting numerous letters from people saying "nothing has changed, the culture and the environment is as toxic as it was during the inquiry".

"Unless there is a massive cultural change starting from the very top of the service, how can officers trust the Rees Government?"

STEVE MCGHIE, AMBULANCE EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION: The concerns are in Victoria for the paramedics down there, and that is that there's an increasing trend of lengthy shifts with additional over time, they're not getting appropriate meal breaks in 10-12-14 hour shifts. We're seeing evidence of levels of fatigue increasing and ambulance and paramedics put at greater risk

Anonymous said...

JENNY BROCKIE: You're worried about the minimum breaks between shift, what 8 hours?



STEVE MCGHIE: At the moment it's 8 hours, and we just find that it is too insufficient and all the evidence back from paramedics is that they feel that's too short a period to try and get home, unwind, have some sleep and go back to the next shift. We're seeking the minimum of a 10 hour rest break.

Anonymous said...

JENNY BROCKIE: Tony Walker, your in charge of Ambulance Victoria’s Standards, two years ago the state coroner found two officers who had accidently administered morphine instead of adrenalin to someone whose heart stopped, that those officers were affected by fatigue, in part affected by fatigue. They were half way through their second 14 hour over night shift which is not uncommon in lots of areas. Are your ambos getting enough sleep, do you think?



TONY WALKER, AMBULANCE VICTORIA: I think ambos are working harder and working two night shifts, by the second night shift clearly puts them under a lot of pressure. We are working very closely with our staff to try to address those issues through looking at changes to rosters, putting in rosters that reduce the number of second night shifts. And importantly trying to increase the number of paramedics we have to reduce the reliance on over time for paramedics to work.

Anonymous said...

JENNY BROCKIE: Because often a shift is extends, in a lot of these areas, police and others, if they have to finish a job they have to finish the job.



TONY WALKER: That’s our challenge, we're dealing with it 24 hous, 7 day a week emergency service and how we can work shifts. That setting is very complex.

Anonymous said...

JENNY BROCKIE: Do you think working those sorts of hours, that length of time over night is safe? Both for the person doing the work but also the person they're treating?



SHANTHA RAJARATNAM: So what we and others have found is that as we increase the length of the shift t risk of accidents and injuries increases. From about a shift length of about 8 hours, to 12 hours, the increasing risk of an occupational injury or accident is about 28 per cent. And so if you couple that with over night shifts, where as we've described you're tired, the risk of accidents and injuries is elevated, it is dangerous to have long shifts that occur over the night shift.

Ambulance chief won't be sacked despite claims of bullying cover-up


This is not about personality, this about getting the management systems right.

Health Minister John Della Bosca
The controversial Ambulance service chief won't be sacked, despite a damning report finding he swept bullying and harassment claims under the carpet.

A parliamentary inquiry has accused Greg Rochford of dismissing the problems for a decade even though at least nine staff members committed suicide.

But Health Minister John Della Bosca is refusing to get rid of Mr Rochford.

"This is not about personality, this about getting the management systems right. It's about getting a satisfactory work environment for paramedics and ambulance staff. This is about high levels of patient care.

"So simply personalising argument is unproductive, unfair and I think quite foolish."

Or maybe Rouchford will stay just untill the callouts go in the bush,,,you know this is all revenge on the part of Rouchford.
We wanted him gone for a very long time,,,No one likes to be made a fool of in the public,do they.Just think about it,sit back and watch.

I handle my fatigue ok that's why I am still alive. My point is they are whinging about doing 2 nights and being fatigued the same as you blokes who are so tired after a 12 hour day. If you aren't having lunch then you are fucking dumb and most of your day is spent standing around a hospital srinking tea like the Roach said. When I worked in Sydney we got flogged too but we never went hungry and their were nohospital delays sowe were doing 20 real jobs a day. People don't ring as much as they used to because they don't want to lie on your stretcher all day. You people have got it easy. Have you ever heard of not pushing your clear button until YOU are ready. Don't give me this shit about being fatigued after a 12 hour day and a couple of busy nights. We have been doing that for decades and there were less ambo's todo it then too. You young ones have no idea. Your wages are another story.

I don't know where you work these days but I have worked both city and country and can assure you that we city boys are getting more calls than ever. I could go for a week without doing a job in the bush. As for these crib breaks. Well you are lucky to get any down time as it costs coord barely anything to keep you going all day (so much for there fatigue policy) I had all of 2 minutes downtime yesterday. It amazes me back in the days of call offs how coord would hold onto a 2B till you came off lunch but now they put it on you straight away (even if you are on a crib break)You are full of crap!!!!

Yep there sure is. If you don't use all your tools you can't figure out what is wrong with them to treat them. Then you have to make sure your paperwork is complete which takes about 10 minutes if you are any good at what you do or 30 minutes if you are scared of getting in the shit because you doubt your own judgement. You young ones are inheriting everything you deserve. Us dino's had it the best we will ever see it. the boys club, corruption, nepotism it was great but now you all want to change it becuase you get bullied. Plus you can't say anything without fighting with each other. You would all step over each other to get something up on your mate. At least in my pre historic days we all stood together something you lot will never know anything about. Hahahaha. What a bunch of prescious pussies. P.S. It is ok to call me a dinosaur it makes me realise that soon I will be gone, retired and enjoying watching all you lot on TV walking patients and generally making the service looked like a bunch of amateurs. No wonder the FB are laughing. They know it is only a matter of time.

The only problem then will be when you are about to retire,you wont of had the benifit of meals and callouts onto your supperanuation,

Robyn Parker slams NSW Government over ambulance inquiry response
BY IAN KIRKWOOD
7/05/2009 4:00:00 AM

HUNTER-BASED Liberal MLC Robyn Parker says the State Government has failed to support most of the 45 recommendations made last year by an Upper House inquiry into the ambulance service.

She was backed by Health Services Union organiser Peter Rumball, who said it was galling for a union and its members to be treated so badly by a Labor government.


Ms Parker, who chairs the legislative council standing committee that conducted the inquiry, said yesterday the Government was ignoring the documented need for substantial change "from the top down of the ambulance service".


The inquiry had investigated allegations of bullying and harassment and found that ambulance officers had extremely low morale and no faith in their senior managers.


Ms Parker said that about the only thing the Government agreed to was a review of progress in ambulance reforms a year after the inquiry finished its business in October last year.


"That inquiry is now just five months away and we will see what has happened by then," Ms Parker said.


"Health Minister John Della Bosca says he is already addressing the issues.


"If that's true, why am I still receiving calls from distressed ambulance officers?"


Ms Parker said the committee had three Labor MLCs, two Liberals, a Green and an Independent, Gordon Moyes.


She said the committee split along party lines during its deliberations last year, with the three ALP members producing a dissenting report.


In its official response tabled this week, the Government said the three Australian Labor Party members did not support 11 of the 45 recommendations made by their colleagues.


The Government response said some claims made to the committee lacked evidence or were not tested by the inquiry.


"Assurances given by the director-general of health and the ambulance service chief executive officer that concerns were being addressed were not recognised in the conclusions," the Government said in response.

Hey Spider you made some good points with your last post.the divisional manager you talk about is Alan Loudfoot who is a jumped up pommy git who looks down on just about everyone. everyone in the Hunter hates his guts. there have been 3 suicides in his area directly related to mismanagement and lack of support. there have also been a number of harassment claims made directly against him personally let alone the other managers below him. but he is still in his position. just like roachford (i know you don't agree) he too seems to be untouchable.

Spider - Re Retard?, charming, you’re a class act for sure. And whose advice would he take reference Recommendation 36?

I like your comparisons between the ambulance service and the catholic church or better still Rochford and the Pope.

You are an absolute idiot and have no fucking idea about what goes on.

Your continual reference to the legacy of the "Brothers" still pervading the service with bullying and harrassment reads like a reference to the Opus Dei in a Dan Brown novel.

Ooohhh really scary mate. You fucking retard go back under that rock you crawled out from and shut the fuck up until you know what really goes on in the Service.

You are the biggest nitwit of them all!!!!!

Experienced officers rule, yes. I value them, and their experience as a more "junior officer". On the other hand, people who have been in this job so long, and continue to propagate negative attitudes, make statements that show they are not willing to provide ACTUAL support to "younger ones", and facilitate insecurity and ambiguity between "younger ones" and "dinosaurs", need to pull their heads in. Please start helping to build a service to be proud of again. That would show us how good you are... these problems began long before these "younger ones" were even recruited, and you make statements like "You young ones are inheriting everything you deserve", it doesn't make sense (must be a manager trying to propagate discontent, in my opinion). If you had it so good, why did you allow it to get this bad? Why do you continue to post such negative comments here? Why do I bother to ask... for some reason I care. That seems to mean nothing to some people here.

Unfotunately the credibility of the ASNSW went out the window a long time ago. We would be right up there with the RFS and Johnnies.

A lot to be proud of hey.
But then again you might get a 14 gauge in, that would be a highlight of the night.
Not to forget we have a union that hates us and an association that has no idea how to represent us.

But even though iam a member i do have a complaint to make.
I feel its time for EMSPA to really start getting our message out to the media.
EMSPA really need to get the trust of ambos who hav"t joined yet,they need to know that EMSPA is not going to be like the HSU,and take the softly softly approach.
Its really time to get stuff out into the media everyday,and i mean everyday.
We need to be ringing the talk back radio everyday,to tell them of the raw deal we have got,also start demanding that Rouchfrod be sacked over the 000 debarcal.

If EMSPA dont become more proactive soon,they wont get more members and they run the risk of losing the ones they already have.
Come on EMSPA,its will be worth it to hound the media,to put the svc in a bad light,make them explain themselves to the public,because in the end its the public who will suffer!
Make it known we dont agree with Rouchford not taking responsibilty for his actions.If EMSPA are not prepared to go hard,unlike the HSU,then maybe they shouldnt have started EMSPA up,we all know what the go softly gets you, >>>>>>>>>NOTHING!!!!!!!

...what are you expecting? A white knight called EMSPA to come along and get your late meals & call offs back? Do you expect them to get rescue back? Are you serious? Why are you posting this here? If you are a member as I am, why don't you ring them and ask what's happening? I am also a member and I picked up a telephone, called EMSPA and spent less than 10 minutes on the phone and got a real answer from a real person. It wasn't hard really. I would suggest you do the same rather than putting a useless post on this site.I was very happy with the response. There is a plan and it won't happen overnight. But neither will changing this shitty service we work for. It also won't work if we don't jump on board and support these people who have given us a voice and a chance to do some good for us all.
...I have heard of three radio interviews with EMSPA in the past 3 weeks..I expect it's only going to continue...
...if we don't show support...we will have ourselves to blame...AGAIN!

I am glad I read your post...I haven't been on this blog for about a month...it's on the downhill with all the shit posted on it...someone else said if you don't grow some balls and join the new association then keep quiet and continue to enjoy working for the service and keep paying your money to the hsu to further their own fucking political career...I have had a gutful...

Paramedics see roster relief
12:00a.m. 12th October 2007 | By Toby Walker
Overworked Sunshine Coast paramedics say the State Government’s pledge to overhaul their contentious roster system had immediately boosted morale in stations across the region.

Low morale and high levels of stress and fatigue had been linked to the ambulance roster system which, since its introduction by Commissioner Jim Higgins in 2005, had staff working 10-hour shifts for five days.

Commissioner Higgins’ 10-hour shifts replaced a system where ambulance officers had worked four days on, four days off.

But almost as soon as the 10-hour shifts had been introduced they were being blamed for cutting into the family time of paramedics and causing costly and inefficient sick leave to increase.

One of the first decisions by incoming Premier Anna Bligh was to call for a comprehensive audit of the Queensland Ambulance Service.

The move was at odds with the government’s previously unwavering desire to keep the status quo on rosters, however unpopular the status quo may have been.

Last weekend, Ms Bligh went a step further beyond her audit announcement by committing to 12-hour shifts in the first half of 2008, effectively a return to the four days on, four days off system seen by many paramedics as a cornerstone of good station morale.

Significantly, paramedics also will see their six and half weeks’ leave jump to nine weeks when accrued time off is also counted as part the new 38-hour week, introduced at the beginning of this month.

“It’s like someone flicked a switch and now we can see some light at the end of the tunnel,” said one Sunshine Coast paramedic in reference to the long struggle by QAS staff to have their voices heard on roster reforms.

Emergency services minister Neil Roberts said the new roster arrangements had been negotiated by the QAS and the Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Union but paramedics speaking anonymously due to their ban on speaking to the media laid the credit for the popular changes at the feet of the Emergency Medical Services Protection Association(EMSPA).

“If the union acted like a trade union and did what its members wanted EMSPA wouldn’t be in existence,” said a Coast-based paramedic.

EMSPA’s president Prebs Sathiaseelan said he was happy Anna Bligh had acted quickly to address the concerns his group had been so outspoken about for over two years.

He said he hoped this time paramedics would be given the opportunity to participate in the planning of the new rosters rather than having to pick one of a number of options foisted on them by QAS management.

1) EMSPA, will never be able to afford industrial registration, it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and QLD are only going for it now, NSW hasn't even started the process you dill.

2) The ASNSW only recognise one industrial representative here in NSW and thats HSU.

3) Your other half is spending money that a) you wont get back ever and b) is not being spent on industrial reform rather than expensive lawyers who still don't represent the majority of officers in NSW. But you have your own views on HSU I know. Funny thing is, the second highest office bearer in EMSPA is a rescue officer.

4) Who gives a rats about an SRB meeting, they have no say over me anymore, I could care less.

If you think she and others are wasting money with EMPSA, then do you think they are getting their bucks worth from HSU lately?

It sounds like more of the 'they can't do this because their not allowed'.

Good to hear you don't give a rats about the SRB, because it does not concern you anymore. Now let everyone else get on with business.

And if you don't care about the SRB, why are you reading and posting on this topic, let it go man.

Anonymous said...

No showbags, I didn't say they couldn't represent Ambos, the IRC says they can't and we all know about abiding by what the IRC say.

Even if the IRC gave em a green light tomorrow they still don't have the money. $15 bucks a week for 4 weeks x 600 members doesn't even give them $5000 bucks in the bank yet and it will cost about 100 times that to pay for industrial registration, and even if the IRC would allow two industrial organistaions to represent the one group of employees, they still don't have a majority of the membership to go down that road.

Furthermore EMSPA have already acknowledged on their website that they are not looking at that yet, and are adopting a wait and see approach as Qld attempt their industrial registration.

My opinion of HSU is that they have had a number of significant wins over the years and in the last twelve months we had a major loss with the MIC. thats really one loss in about seven years of wins.

IMO one of the reasons that HSU's attempts to redeem rescue was handled poorly was that the IRC ruled for us not to take industrial action at the same time as the Major Wage Case was being handed down. HSU therefore did not proceed with strike action fearing what would happen with the Major Wage Case and then we got doubled over by the IRC ruling and the loss of Rescue.

The balance of that was that HSU struck back with winning the 4 x 5 roster when the service tried to back away from it. So in many respects if you look at history we have a situation where we won pretty well for seven years, lost two big decisions within 12 months and hopped straight back on the win wagon.

I am tempted to write that "If your wife is complaining about value for money, maybe she should look closer to home" but I wont.

I love coming here reading your unsubstantiated allegations and ramblings, you are the biggest dill.

Anonymous said...

You don't have to convince me about the HSU's effectiveness numbers, you have to convince the rank and file ambos.

They are leaving in droves and I can understand why. They do feel that the negotiations were too 'rescue centric'. The SRB made the decision and you guys went to town on everyone else in the room.

Anyway before I get chipped for off topic chat, do you think Picton FB going primary would be a good result for the wollondilly folk?

Surely reducing the rescue response by 25 min to the area was a good thing. As well as getting 3 rescue vehicles with 10+ rescue operators as opposed to 1 vehicle and 2 operators.
Only the truly deluded would disagree.

Now if we can only get the same service for the Northern part of Wollondilly, more battles, more egos, all preventing an enhanced rescue response.

Standing by for you response numbers.

es stirrer, the usual will occur, but it's never stopped a station going permo yet.

A lot of the problems usually come from 2 shirted rets, either pol or amb. Looking at this site and and the facebook one, you can understand why. If we followed the logic of their mentality we would still have 42 rescue agencies in NSW.

I believe they have the land, and the new stn is on the list for capital works. 2nd appliance on the way with the new stn. Who knows when.

I still find it incredible the SRB allowed a 30 min+ response by AR in Camden to those areas, whilst an accredited unit 5 minutes away never even got the call. Plenty of people expired waiting for rescue.

It was one of the most despicable examples of egos being put ahead of lives, If I had my way criminal charges would be laid.

WOW........... BIG statement

do you have proof?
can you actually number the people that died because the rescue was 30 minutes away?

So you are saying a delay in the rescue of a patient does not effect their outcome?

Did you approve of the situation were an accredited unit had to travel 30+ min despite another accredited unit laying idle minutes away?

Apparently the picton blokes had a meeting with Camden AR people highlight this problem and asked for dual response. The answer from Camden AR was it might put them out of a job.

So much for putting lives first, criminal indeed.

I would let lie in the past as a sordid reminder egos being put ahead of lives, but the identical situation is occurring in some rural areas.

If country AR was genuine about putting lives first they would ask for dual response.

Have you asked for dual response parso? or is it all about standing in front of a mirror admiring your rescue uniform?

I think I know the answer, poor public.

Anonymous said...

parso,

People have died waiting for rescue in ALL areas, and this is why we should strive for the best response times for rescue units of all persuasions. Co-response will achieve this.

I ask you, were the AR people in Camden striving for the best possible rescue response times by not agreeing to co-responding Picton FB in that area?

Is country AR striving for the best possible rescue response times by leaving permanent FB rescue crews to lay idle at the stn while they respond off duty AR staff (or otherwise committed on-duty staff) to attend?

As for the SRB, cops, NSWFB and S/O being culpable, the NSWFB does not even get notified of a job in a AR area if it is not in a FB fire area (5% of the state).

On the rare occasions that a FB rescue unit does get called to MVAPT job in AR areas, they are not allowed to commence rescue because the patient is not "stabilised". After the delayed arrival of AR the patient is coincidently stabilised and AR commences rescue. And some how this is our fault?

Now that AR in Camden has gone, the good people of the Wollondilly shire get a rescue unit within minutes and 2 more in 20-30 minutes, tell me how thats a bad thing parso?

You and your AR collegues should really have a good look at your motives.

I rang EMSPA and asked about this industrial registration thing...the lawyers will have done all the work for Qld to become industrially registered. It will cost a shitload less if / when NSW go down the same track. Also, the QLD IRC told them to become industrially registered "because you are too strong"....can you imagine this down here...it's fucking great. HSU cocks need to take one for the team and give HSU the fucking flick...lets join our own team for a fucking change. No managers, no lab techs, no cleaners.

Then don't Spider. Unlike you who probably sat on your date all day long I was fatigued from working a 14 hour day shift with no lunch and missed the TRYTRYTRYTRYTRY part. So sorry we aren't perfect like you Rochford lover.

I remember a SES Primary rescue unit being tasked to a Code 9 and they had to ask for AR to attend as their rescue sheers were being used to prop up some blokes house while he did his foundations. That was why Camden AR got primary and SES were removed.

Hey coasties !

Bet you are all waiting for the new 4 x 5 rosters to appear up there.
You have probably worked out that there wont be enough staff to run it and overtime will be going on everywhere !!

BONG BONG !!
There will be no overtime going... they will just do as they are doing down here... splitting dedicated ICP crews with level 1s and 2s and just leaving holes and working you twice as hard !!!!

And you know what .... I told this to an HSU rep who's reply was .... "" thats upto them, nothing we can do about that "" ???

Who even knows what the EDL's are any more ??? they should be published on the intenet along with the transfer list and overtime hours that currently sit in the back pocket of the divisional mangers to be used as a "get out of jail free" card if they come up against a smart ambo who has them over a barrell !

Coasties ... if you think you are going to get a crib break... think again... they just put you on crib for 1 minute then call you off... you get 11 dollars then get flogged for the rest of the day. BYE BYE to the other 29 minutes... YOU JUST LOSE THAT !

If there was some fucker in co-ord with just a hint of morals you could get them to testify that the service dines you for 1 minute knowing they are going to call you off. (to save money)
guarenteed the service would get their arse kicked for doing it but you would need a stand up person in co-ord, not going to happen. It is probably their doing and not the supervisors.

THE SERVICE WOULD GET THEIR ARSE KICKED ??? BY WHO ??????

If you stupid fuckers have not worked it out yet, they NEVER get their arse kicked and until we get 100% membership in EMSPA they never will !

All it would take is 1000 angry ambos to get together and say RIGHT ! until you fix this ... not one single person goes in or out of a hospital for 24 hours unless it is an emergency !!

They would buckle and we would get what we want.
YOU NOW HAVE A VEHICLE WHO COULD ORGANISE NUMBERS LIKE THAT.... SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR .... JOIN EMSPA TODAY, OR JUST SUCK SHIT FOR THE REST OF YOUR CAREER ! " IS UPTO YOU "

A lot of the questions on here about:What is EMSPA going to do about this and what is EMSPA going to do about that and Industrial registration this and industrial registration that: has already been covered on numerous occasions on the EMSPA website. So I'm assuming the people asking these questions on this blog are NON EMSPA members and don't have access to the EMSPA forums. Have no fear if you get onto the EMSPA website you can access contact details of ANY of the executive and they are more than happy to answer (accurately) any questions you have about EMSPAs plan and future directions. and trust me they already have things like getting recognition by ASNSW etc covered.

The outer-hunter sub-branch won't do anything about it or rock the boat as usual because they don't want to piss management off. This is the best way to get promoted in this service, brown-nose. Look after yourself and fuck your mates, oh and the patients as well. typical HSU. Oh forgot to mention the same thing happens at Stoud, Merriwa and Murrurundi and still HSU does nothing?Brown-nosing career seeking suck-holes.Looking after themselves. the lowest of the low.

Ambulance union lobbies for 30pc pay rise
Posted Tue May 5, 2009 7:10am AEST


The union says Qld ambulance workers are paid much less than their interstate counterparts. (ABC TV News - file image)

Map: Brisbane 4000
A long-running pay dispute between the Queensland Government and ambulance workers heads to the Industrial Relations Commission (IRC) in Brisbane today.

The IRC will hear 16 days of evidence as part of union claims for a 30 per cent pay rise over three years and better working conditions.

The pay talks began in April last year but so far no deal has been reached.

Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Union (LHMU) state organiser spokesman Jason Dutton says they want the hearing to send a strong message to the Government, which is already involved in a pay dispute with teachers.

"We are seeking 30 per cent over three years - we believe that will bring us in line with other states," he said.

"For far too long now the Government and the Queensland Ambulance Service has rested on the good faith of ambulance officers across Queensland and enough is enough.

"We see other professionals across the state - nurses, doctors, police officers being paid truly the money they deserve in the job that they do and for far too long the ambulance and the ambos have been suffering from that.

"Today is the message that we've had enough."

Mr Dutton says says the State Government has taken advantage of Queensland ambulance officers, who are paid much less than their interstate counterparts.

"The reality of it is we're about $3 or $4 an hour behind other states," he said.

Unions will also push for better fatigue management procedures.

He says ambulance officers are not planning strike action.

"It's certainly not something we're considering at the moment," he said.

EMSPA rocks.......yes yes yes said...

We are seeking 30 per cent over 3 years.................................did HS fucking U ever throw those figures about...oh that's right, I nearly forgot, Williamson had already agreed to 8% with his Labor buddies behind closed doors.

Some Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Written by EMSPA (NSW) Inc. Executive Committee
Is EMSPA NSW industrially registered?

No. The process of industrial registration is costly and can take considerable time. EMSPA (QLD) members have decided to begin the process. The direction of EMSPA (NSW) will be up to the members.

However I think history tells us that industrial registration does not ensure that your voice is heard by the IRC. At the end of the day we are all going to have to make a choice. Who do we want to represent us in the IRC? A body that openly states that they have political agendas and affiliations, or our own lawyers?

What are the consequences of not being industrially registered?

Firstly, EMSPA (NSW) would not be able to front at the IRC with an Award submission. However, that was never going to be our intention. EMSPA (NSW) are Paramedics. We would send lawyers to the IRC to act on our behalf. The IRC are bound to consider submissions from groups of employees or “interested parties” in an Award negotiation. With a majority we will simply have a greater say in the negotiation process.

Secondly, we are not bound by the IRC rules. The best example of this is the restrictions placed on our union last year around the time of the MIC as well the current restriction whereby the union have been told to “be quiet” for 3 months. This would not apply to us, as we are not industrially registered. This means we can continue to lobby, rally and gain all the media and public support we can, because we are allowed to. EMSPA NSW cannot be sanctioned by the union, the government or the “Service”.

What about the Award up for renegotiation in July?

With a majority of staff on board, EMSPA NSW will be in an immensely powerful position. Once the Award goes into arbitration, our lawyers will make representation to the IRC, as the employed legal firm “for the majority of employees, or interested parties in the Award negotiation”. We need to have done our homework and put together what we think is a reasonable submission to the IRC. EMSPA (QLD) are about to send Ffrench Commercial Lawyers, namely Andrew Frieberg, to the QIRC. Go to their website and have a look at their submission.

What it comes down to is this: an individual voice will not be heard in the IRC, but a collective body will be. This is why we are going to need numbers if we want OUR voice to be heard.

Also consider this information provided by our Barrister, Mr John Sheply, at a meeting with him last Thursday. New Federal laws will come into play late this year or early next year whereby a lot of IR issues will move to the Commonwealth arena. These new laws will allow “any individual to appoint any agent as a bargaining agent”

Do I have legal coverage for work related matters?

Absolutely. Members are covered for all work related matters where legal representation is required during the course of employment, not just after dismissal. Remember your fees simply sit in a bank account and are there to cover the costs associated with running the Association and legal fees. Go to the “Legal Team” on our website for more information on Ffrench Commercial Lawyers.

What is EMSPA (NSW) doing right now?

Your executive committee have been working incredibly hard to get the Association up and running. We are now working around the clock to develop our member base. In the coming months, we will be conducting information sessions and perhaps the odd BBQ around the state to introduce ourselves to everyone and field questions. This will also give us a good chance simply to get to know our members and obtain an idea of state wide issues.

Some members who have submitted their applications have voiced concerns over not receiving access to the website and forum yet - rest assured that members are being given access as quickly as possible but due to the sheer number of new applications received daily some time is needed.

How will MY individual voice be heard?

Your first point of call will be your Regional Liaison Officer (RLO) for day to day issues. As far as meetings go as Paramedics, we understand that you cannot attend every meeting so we are finalising procedures to ensure that every member in every area will have their views counted. On “big ticket” items or state wide issues, we will use secure online polling to ensure that every Paramedic has a say.

Finally, we have received calls and emails pledging support from across the state. For those who have supported us we send a big THANK YOU! We also ask for your patience during this early phase. We are undertaking enormous change for the better, not only for us, but hopefully for the Service and the public of NSW.

What about PAPERWORK BANS said...

Paramedics in Victoria are taking their case to launch strike action over paramedic fatigue to the Industrial Relations Commission.

The industrial arbiter is to hear an application from Ambulance Employees Australia state secretary Steve McGhie on Monday afternoon.

Year-long talks with the state government have broken down, with the major sticking point a call for 10-hour rest breaks between shifts.

Most states have minimum 10-hour breaks but in Victoria the current break is only eight hours.

If the commission agrees to the application, paramedics say they will enforce the 10-hour break, ban overtime and undertake other forms of industrial action.

The thick shake was nice though, but the apple pie going in my bum hurt a little. Is it true that it was probaly a choko pie?

Derrr no never done that. When i joined we worked single everywhere even in Sydney. Yeah I am that old. If it is on call and you aren't demanding another officer be called out with you to a code 2 then you only have yourself to blame. When I started at the country town I am in now it was the same. We got together and said if it is good enough for everyone else it is good enough for us and got it changed. On shift is different but you can still ask for an on call officer to back you up, if they refuse then ask for a name and tell them if the job goes bad you will be making a noise about it. I can't believe you blokes put up with it. No balls.

I am the loser and you can't even spell it nor know what a capital letter is for. Do you realise that by using a small i to represent yourself you are actually belittling yourself. You can see why managers got the pay rise can't you. And I bet I am not looser than you. Hahaha what a moron.
