HONOLULU — Honolulu’s Department of Emergency Medical Services will continue a pilot program that has personnel working 12-hour shifts.
After ongoing discussions, the United Public Workers union told KHON2 it reached an agreement with the city to continue the extended shifts.
The pilot program, which had EMTs and paramedics working 12-hour shifts instead of eight, was launched in an effort to resolve staffing issues that led to ambulances being pulled off the road last year.
