Peter, unless we’re really lucky, we or our loved ones are going to need a St John Ambulance at some point in our lives - and when that time comes, we want to know that the ambulance officers who are looking out for us are being looked out for too.
Right now they’re not. They’re really not. They need changes at work - like having more than one crew member on duty, rest breaks so they don’t end up worn out and making mistakes, and recognition for the emotionally draining and dangerous job they do.
Instead, St John has told them they’ll have their pay docked by 10% just for wearing a T-shirt saying “Healthy ambos save lives”.1
St John relies on public donations to run their business. That means if enough of us tell them to do the right thing, they’ll have to listen.
Peter, will you join with thousands of other Kiwis who want ambulance officers to be healthy and safe, and sign the open letter to St John CEO Peter Bradley to tell him healthy ambos save lives? |
