VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The province’s paramedics are set to go on strike this morning with job action that aims to make things expensive for the government, while not compromising people’s safety.
“People should be assured that if they are in need of an ambulance that one will arrive,” said B.J. Chute, a spokesman with the Ambulance Paramedics of B.C.
Strike action could include a ban on voluntary overtime and administrative paperwork. Paramedics will also picket the B.C. Ambulance Service’s administration building in East Vancouver.
