Lunch Break

•To provide lunch breaks for 8hr/16 hr shifts

Why is this important?

This is very important to all FDNY- EMS .
Working hard for the people and saving lives everyday is our life, our love, our passion. It takes an amazing individual to wake up each and everyday to save the lives of those in need. These are just some of many reasons why it is so important and crucial that we get to have a designated lunch break.

*Improves mental well being of workers- stress is very common in this line of work. So stepping away to take a breather helps with the overall stressful situations we often face.

*Increases Productivity- with designated lunch breaks ; all employees will regain focus and energy for the next job.

*Your brain needs the fuel- The brain is an energy Hungry organ. The food we consume and how often it’s consumed can affect the brains functions.

All FDNY- EMS are true heroes who deserve the very best.

Sincerely,
The people

Unbelievable. With what you are up against why wouldn't they hire enough people so that you can lunch?

All workers should have a break with in their working day. It will help them work more efficiently specially if it’s a lunch break. Please approve this petition. Thanks.

Wow, this is cruel beyond measure. I definitely didn’t know that our dedicated and selfless first responders did not have dedicated lunch breaks. This is unacceptable. Let us take care of those brave men and women who not only are not paid well enough, but also aren’t receiving lunch breaks- paid at that. Thank you to all of the amazing EMS workers! You are appreciated!

All employees are entitled to at least a 30-minute break, after 5 hours.
