Buffalo Rural/Metro is having the same problems as Syracuse and Rochester N.Y. They run their equipment and people into the ground, and then they make excuses on why things are the way they are. When your crews are going home sick due to the amount of fumes in the patient compartments, and the ffont floors shift everytime your rig takes a turn, I think its time to invest into your equipment. Or in order to meet a city's contract requirements, Rochester Rural/Metro had to change their complete fleet due to the poor condition of their fleet, and thats sad. They're a muti-million dollar company! I support the Buffalo medics and their fight for a decent living wage and working conditions. Hopefully Twin City(Buffalo) and Monroe Ambulance (Rochester) take all of Metro's employees so that they can work for companies that will appreciate them. If you read blogs from around the country, all you hear is how the company treats its employees. They've lost contracts to cover EMS and Fire services due to poor performance and terrible equipment. In NO-WAY does this reflect on the employees, its about a poor management and greed.
