More than 350 emergency medical technicians (EMTs) at American Medical Response (AMR), represented by Teamsters Local 763 in Washington, overwhelmingly voted to ratify a strong new collective bargaining agreement.



“We fought and won major victories, not just a 19 percent wage increase over the three-year life of the contract, but protection for the wage-earning capacity of the members,” said Sal Cossio, an EMT and bargaining committee member at Local 763. “We undercut the company’s ability to use unpaid admin leave, mandated cause for reassignments, and doubled the warning period for cancelled shifts. This contract brings us the security we deserve.”
