For those who are mad that they dont get paid over time because they are in a private job....well you are doing it because there IS a benifit.....you will be rewarded for your hard work, ie: promotions, bonuses, ect.....as a public servant that is incentive to work over time. If they didn't get over time there would be NO benifit to them at all. That is how the public services works.

I understand all of that. But to clarify is it your position that someone working in the public sector should be able to make a high income?
If someone enters the public sector they shoud no what they are getting into.
Let me ask you this. How much would be willing to pay out of you own pocket in extra taxes to facilitate the wages you think EMT's should get?
