My father, a photocopier technician who works 5 days a week, gets paid more per hour on the weekend to be on call than we paramedics do.

And he doesn’t have to do this work after already working a 10 hour day shift.

He is also not expected to jump out of bed and respond to a call immediately.

On-call shifts not only put paramedics, but also our communities, at increased risk.
