Employees are not showing up to work and the resistance is very strong the company must work together with the union to avoid a major strike that could impact the response of EMT services in the Seattle area. The company's argument for not wanted to raise the salary of EMT personnel isdue to the fact thatthey are not funded by the city of Seattle and they make their money of the fees they charge their patients when they provide emergency services. AMR has not agreed to the new pay scale offer by the union, this could hurt patients that need medical transportation and the Seattle fire department which counts on AMR for their support.
