Time to vote via telephonium on the “Proposed variation to Ambulance Victoria Enterprise Agreement 2009″.
This time it’d be nice to actually have some people voting – unlike the three people who did vote last time.
At Azureblues.com we’re not about to tell you which way to vote – suffice to say that voting is important.
Cheers and happy voting.

Despite Ambulance Victoria (AV) running an ambulance service propped up by paramedic goodwill (overtime), AV has managed to secure a 20% pay cut on this goodwill.

Pig on a spit! Looks like it's gonna be some party... a plethora of flowers, booze and strange props arrive at Kate Moss' house on her 35th birthday

It’s remarkable that paramedics were threatened by Fair Work Australia and Ambulance Victoria for even thinking about withdrawing from voluntary overtime (due to fears for public safety) – yet on the other hand Ambulance Victoria allegedly dropped over 20 ambulances from service the other night (allegedly commonplace too). With no repercussions.

Viva La Pay Cuts – except for the boss’ $30,000 pay rise.

Nice.
