During COVID, it was the EMTs and Paramedics going into people’s homes, risking their own lives for the citizens of this city. EMS was promised pay parity by Adams and he left office without fulfilling that promise. Mamdani needs to do the right thing. Honor EMS by giving them pay parity!

EMS and fire work side by side. They should be making the same pay, not working second and third jobs to make ends meet.
