BUFFALO, N.Y. — Eight hours after walking off the job, the strike at Rural Metro is over.
Negotiations between Rural Metro and the Teamsters Union continued through the night with the help of a federal mediator.
“There has been a lot of hard work put into this process over the last few weeks and certainly the last 24 hours,” said Jay Smith, Rural/Metro Division General Manager. “We’re pleased to have come to this favorable agreement so that our EMTs and Paramedics can return to the communities they serve. We also owe a debt of gratitude to our partners in healthcare and first response and particularly those dedicated EMTs, Paramedics and staff who left their homes and families to serve the communities of Western New York.”
