NEMSA BIG HIT AT EMS EXPO

 

NEMSA’s booth at the Las Vegas 2006 EMS Expo in September was a big hit with EMS workers.  The Expo had the latest and the greatest EMS equipment, ambulances, and the one EMS-only labor organization, NEMSA.  EMT’s and Paramedics from around the nation, and the world, stopped by the booth to talk about the need for a union which represents only EMS workers in their community.  Not only were fellow AMR employees asking how to bring NEMSA to where they work, but so were EMS workers from other small towns and privately owned companies.   Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Puerto Rico and Iceland were among some of the countries represented who asked about NEMSA.

 

The NEMSA staff members working the booth were amazed at how excited EMT’s and Paramedics from all over were about the concept that there is a union devoted specifically to them.  As NEMSA grows, we hope to be able to bring representation to the people we spoke with at the Expo.
