We love hearing how multi-talented our Ambulance community is! Now retired Paramedic Shane Foley was featured in an article this weekend on his work as an illustrator for the comic book series The Phantom!

“Saving lives is something Mr Foley shares with the character he creates.” Having completed more than 500 pages of stories since 2016, well done Shane.

A key point that is not acknowledged in the media

A key point that is not acknowledged in the media today is that the major reason why the culture and workplace has improved slightly at ESTA 000 is because ESTA's management has been forced to LISTEN to the delegates that represent the unions.

This reform is a long time coming as members and delegates have worked tirelessly, over multiple rounds of enterprise bargaining to get ESTA right.

The AEAV’s response to today's announcement is this:

If wages don't improve significantly this "overhaul" will just be an insincere cover-up. Wage growth is needed to ensure we get the right staff employed on the operations floor who want to remain on the job.

In short, these reforms will not work if the Victorian Government doesn't honour the key claims our members are demanding.

When it comes to data breaches at Ambulance Victor

When it comes to data breaches at Ambulance Victoria ... this sums it up.

Details: In May this year, the private data of Ambulance Paramedics drug and alcohol history was exposed. At that time, AV gave assurances this would never happen again. Yesterday, like a scene from the movie Groundhog Day, employees were notified of yet ANOTHER data breach of employees private information such as medical, personal and management details.

It appears they have invested more money into an Executive dinner than its own data security.

$500,000 could buy enough warm car coats for all o

$500,000 could buy enough warm car coats for all operational staff …
$10,000 could pay for another 8 ambulance crews on a shift …
Meal break rates cost less than an Executive dinner …
If you were in a crisis, what would you do with $500,000?

Yesterday, proud @unitedworkersoz UWU/AEAV member

Yesterday, proud @unitedworkersoz UWU/AEAV member and paramedic, Maree joined her union sisters in talking to MPs about how Non Disclosure Agreements (NDA's) play a significant barrier to eradicating sexual harassment and gendered violence in the workplace.

Working women are calling for legislation to ban the misuse of NDAs in cases of workplace sexual harassment, other than where they are expressly requested by victim-survivors to protect their own privacy. In these cases there should be clear safeguards in place to ensure the workers has not been coerced, and any confidentiality should be time-limited and subject to waiver by the victim-survivor #BanNDAs #solidarity #springst

Solidarity to NSW paramedics taking industrial act

Solidarity to NSW paramedics taking industrial action today! #unionpower

From HSU FB post:

"Members never take action lightly, but these are desperate times. The Premier is trying to walk away from his promises to remove the wages cap and give members the full 100% of their salary packaging, but members are not going to let him forget his duty.
Members stand united for a day of unprecedented action. On Thursday, red and green fleets are joining forces for No Discharge Day. There will be a 24 hour ban on transports from hospitals to homes or aged care facilities across Ambulance and HealthShare PTOs, with exemptions for end-of-life care, dialysis and patients that have not formally been admitted to hospital. Don’t let the Premier forget a well-running health system starts with health workers."

The team and members at AEAV.UWU send our thoughts

The team and members at AEAV.UWU send our thoughts and condolences to the paramedic's family and the broader NSW Ambulance community today.

We will continue to fight for increased protection and support.

Every worker deserves to come home safe. Always.
