Congratulations Greater Hartford EMS Professionals! You have clearly spoken and you are the winners! Your workforce voted NEMSA today as your labor representative. The vote was 86 NEMSA, 76 SEIU 1199.
Now is a time for healing after a long and bruising union battle. EMS Professionals around the USA are celebrating and NEMSA staff is ready to hit the ground running. But for everyone in Greater Hartford, it is time to come together and remember that even long before NEMSA vs. SEIU 1199, your workforce was strong and unified... a change in representation does not change your unity.
Thank You to everyone who voted, be it for or against NEMSA. Your participation matters! With the results decided, NEMSA awaits the official certification from the National Labor Relations Board. At that point, NEMSA will be your official bargaining representative.
NEMSA is working hard for you and coming in the next two weeks will be busy preparing for bargaining, re-organizing your workplace into a NEMSA shop, providing professional shop steward training, etc...
Have a safe and happy Fourth of July! Congratulations...
-as for this blog, it will remain active until certification of your unit by the NLRB.

Thanks Jim and Jim for everything! You guys have been great, and we at the GHAMR Union look forward to working with you to establish the contract that all of AMR CT will base future contracts on! We also look forward to supporting our new union brothers and sisters in any and all future endeavors! We look forward to making NEMSA the largest and most influential EMS union in the country !
Hold NEMSA accountable to what they promised you and i hope NEMSA does not walkaway from you like they did to portland. Good luck with NEMSA they are the same as SEIU except with out the backing of an international Union.
