With all due respect, you’re way off base. The idea that people at a theme park are any different than the people outside a theme park is so far in left field that it might as well be on Mars. I would agree that WDW has fewer homeless than most cities, but how does that factor into the equation? EMS doesn’t discriminate or treat people differently based on any sort of demographic, a person is a person. I spent 10 years working on an ambulance in a busy urban system, and the rich experienced medical emergencies just as much as the poor. Also, the amount of complaining in the tram tracker thread along with the number of times I’ve been personally run over by an ECV in the parks suggest your position that people in the parks are self sufficient is completely unfounded.
I generally wouldn’t call myself a union guy. I’m not anti union, but I would also agree we are past the days of paying kids 50 cents a day to change spools of thread in the mills. However, the union’s position is that they’re not meeting benchmarks. Based on my experience in the business as it were and what I’ve observed, the union isn’t off base. It appears that the guys are working their tails off but still aren’t meeting acceptable levels of care.
