The Ambulance Services Collective Bargaining Act, 2001 of Ontario states that: 


"When a collective agreement covering ambulance workers is being negotiated, the statute requires that the parties must have an essential ambulance services agreement before ambulance workers in the barganing unit can engage in a strike." 


We, the people of Ontario, request that the right to engage in a strike be revoked and that all Ontario ambulance workers, paramedics, emergency medical dispatchers and all paramedic and emergency medical services be re-classifed as essential services for the citizens of Ontario.

The bureaucrats at the Ministry are ignoring us while we approach 1,000 signatures. Blast this link out to everyone you know right now because we need to force their hand before they try to dismiss us.

Paramedics deal with life and death every day. They shouldnt even be able to talk about walking off the job.

My son had a heart attack last year and the paramedics saved him. I dont even want to think about what would happen if they werent there. This needs to pass.
