Ongoing Negotiations

Negotiations aimed at improving salaries and enhancing career value are set to commence on November 21. These discussions will occur every ten days until an agreement is reached, indicating a proactive approach to resolving the ongoing concerns of the technicians.

The urgency of these negotiations is underscored by the grave delays in emergency response times attributed to the shortage of technicians in the CODU (Central Operations and Dispatch of Urgent Medical Assistance).
