We estimate that 7,000 EMS live and work in this cluster of county systems. Each county has 1-3 agencies.

We are seeking to outline the importance of unity, diversity in tactics (organizing, charity, lobbying) and setting local goals for our region.

We stand in full solidarity with CSEA organizing and any EMS unions that wish to fight for EMS. Labor Organizing and Lobbying has always been the focus of the Finger Lakes Chapter.

Our initial concept is of a FINGER LAKES EMS COALITION. We are expanding the leadership team by appointing deputes per county and specialized talent into local committee leads. Join up with us.
